[ 1 ] - A numerical analysis of effect of segmental lining joints on tunnel support internal forces under seismic loading

During an earthquake, the better performance of segmental tunnel lining, compared to the continuous in-cast concrete lining, is generally related to the joints between segments. In order to better understand the influence of the segment joints, their effect on the internal forces induced in tunnel lining simultaneously with the effects of the other influential parameters should be considered.
