Abstract: Recent research shows that the use of a Mohr-Coulomb strain softening constitutive model can represent the load sharing behaviour in a composite tunnel lining where the waterproofing membrane produces a composite action between the primary and secondary linings (Pillai et.al., 2017). The use of a Mohr-Coulomb model requires finite element analysis with the use of a very fine mesh to model the
