Behaviour of joints in tunnel linings
Precast concrete tunnel segments are used extensively to construct tunnel linings. In order to reduce bending moments the lining must be flexible. This flexibility is usually provided by rotation of the joints between segments. The rotational and axial stiffness of the joints between segments and th...

| Summary: | Precast concrete tunnel segments are used extensively to construct tunnel linings. In order to reduce bending moments the lining must be flexible. This flexibility is usually provided by rotation of the joints between segments. The rotational and axial stiffness of the joints between segments and their effect on overall behaviour is the subject of this study. |
