Optimization Study on Longitudinal Joints in Quasi-Rectangular Shield Tunnels

There are large bending moments in quasi-rectangular shield tunnels due to their deviation from the circular shape, and as for other types of shield tunnels, the longitudinal joints are the most critical parts in the lining structure. A new type of joint with ductile iron joint panels (DIJPs) was in...
