Abstract: In this contribution, a multilevel computational modelling framework is proposed to investigate the response of steel fiber reinforced lining segments subjected to thrust jack, grouting and ground loadings. This simulation approach offers an opportunity to directly investigate the influence of type and content of steel fibers on the performance of segmented linings at the structural scale....
Abstract: This contribution is focused on the analysis of steel fiber reinforced concrete segmental linings under circumferential loads, where the area around the longitudinal joints is of particular importance. The occurrence of splitting stresses due to the partial area loading in combination with imperfections, conditioned by the construction process, often leads to a chipping of segment corners. The...
