description Large-diameter MRT tunnelling and other underground infrastructure constructions have been prevalent in recent years specifically Steel-Reinforced Fibre Concrete (SRFC), as it is increasingly implemented in the construction industry due to its increased stiffness, ductility, ultimate strength, and toughness. However, there is still a lack of understanding in performance of the large liner and design experiences with larger-diameter tunnels in Singapore soil conditions. Understanding, investigating, and monitoring the performance of the liners, from liner casting to installation and during operation using embedded fibre optic sensors, would greatly comprehend the effect of a larger tunnel system. Additionally, compared with predicted numerical and analytical analysis, these data could give a deeper knowledge with more precise predictions for the future. However, due to time constraints and delays in the physical testing of the liner, the project will split into different phases of simulation, and practical testing. This project aims to study the numerical and analytical aspects of the large size diameter, to gain valuable insight into the behaviour on the tunnel lining.
