Aggravating factors of the segmental tunnel lining damage can severely affect the
performance of support systems. Based on previous studies and statistical data, the …

With the advancement of tunnel construction, the load-bearing capacity of shield tunnel
segments is diminishing, while issues of deformation and fissuring are becoming more …

The performance of supporting systems can be significantly affected by aggravating factors
that contribute to segmental tunnel lining damage. Based on previous studies and statistical …

In this paper, a novel test setup was proposed to perform mechanical and waterproof tests
for rubber gaskets used in tunnel segmental joints. Based on the newly developed setup, it …

The tunnel segmental lining is a type of support structure that is very complex and widely
used in tunnel excavation. Of particular importance is the behaviour of circular joints in …

This study investigated the mechanical properties and failure patterns of the steel fiber
reinforced concrete (SFRC) lining segments with different fiber parameters using a three …

Replacing conventional steel reinforcement with noncorroding glass fiber-reinforced
polymer (GFRP) reinforcement can be an effective solution to mitigate the corrosion problem …

Segmental lining is subject to significant upward buoyancy forces when a grouting material
(slurry), initially fluid, is adopted to fill the gap between its external profile and the wall of a …

In this paper, we present a solution for the sectional estimation of the stress and
displacement fields of a liner and a geomaterial near a shallow buried tunnel. The complex …

Masonry infilled walls are widely used in reinforced concrete (RC) frams worldwide.
However, infilled RC frame building failure is a common mode in destructive earthquakes …
