Abstract: Precast segmental linings are increasingly used in the mechanized tunneling methods using TBM- bored shield tunnels. Tunnel segments are designed following the approach of limit state design recommended by national and international codes and guidelines. Ultimate limit state (ULS) and serviceability limit state (SLS) are specified in these design codes. The former focuses mostly on the ultimate...
Abstract: Methods for analysis and design of segmental tunnel linings are presented inconformance with standards and guidelines from Austria (ÖVBB), France (AFTES), Germany(DAUB), Japan (JSCE), Netherland, United States (FHWA) and International Tunneling Association(ITA). Effect of embedment loads on segments is analyzed using elastic equations, a beam-springmodel, and Finite Element or Finite Difference...
Abstract: Cracking in tunnel linings is a major cause for reduction in serviceability due to water infiltration and exfiltration, and reinforcement corrosion. In current industry practice, in order to control ground water inflow in lined tunnels, maximum crack width is limited to allowable values in a range of 0.15-0.3 mm specified by the codes, guidelines and recommendations. However, a correlation...
