Effect of TBM Advance in the Structural Response of Segmental Tunnel Lining

AbstractThis study investigated the structural response of segmental tunnel linings to tunnel-boring machine (TBM) advance during the construction of a typical tunnel built in Mexico. Because of the thrusting of the TBM during excavation, an axial load acts along the longitudinal axis of the tunnel....
