  Composite tunnel linings, allowing a more cost effective and sustainable tunnel design

  Spray applied waterproof membranes allow composite action between the concrete and the membrane in a tunnel lining. This paper proposes a design chart for the determination of the secondary lining thickness that will allow designers to reduce the lining thickness when composite action is considered. This paper also presents potential savings in materials and carbon footprint in a quantified manner.
