Simulation based evaluation of time-variant loadings acting on tunnel linings during mechanized tunnel construction

In the design of machine driven tunnels, the loadings acting on the segmental lining are often adopted according to simplified assumptions, which improperly reflect the actual loading on the linings developing during the construction of a bored tunnel. A coupled 3D Finite Element model of the tunnel...
