Structural Behavior and Design Implications of Concrete Tunnel Linings Based on Model Tests and Parameter Studies

Abstract

dc:description

The objective of this study was to investigate the structural behavior of concrete tunnel linings at ultimate and service loads (with the emphasis on subway tunnels), taking into account soil-structure interaction and the nonlinearity of the concrete. The conclusions drawn could serve as the basis for the formulation of rational design guidelines for concrete tunnel linings in a wide range of ground conditions.
