Numerical Simulations for Bending Moment Distribution on Linings of Tunnel Excavated by Shield

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to simulate moment distribution on linings of tunnel excavated by shield, FEM-based procedure is proposed. According to geological data of tunnel excavated by shield, FEM model is performed, and the moment, axial force and shear force distributions on linings are computed. The maximum moment on segments decreases while Poisson’s ratio of soil materials touching to segments increases. The moment value and distribution vary with Young’s modulus of soil materials. The maximum positive moment on linings is approximately equal to the maximum negative moment.
