Abstract: For a shield driven tunnel with segmental lining built in saturated soils, the tunnel convergence and differential longitudinal settlement may induce the opening and stagger of segmental joints and generate segmental cracks. Therefore, the leakage frequently happens at the locations such as the circumferential and longitudinal segmental joints, cracks and grouting holes. In the low permeability...
