Influence of Rotational Stiffness Modeling on the Joint Behavior of Quasi-Rectangular Shield Tunnel Linings

A beam-spring model with constant rotational stiffness is a practical tool for the prediction of the general deformations and bending moments in circular tunnel linings. However, in reality, the rotational stiffness of a segmental joint is not constant, due to nonlinear deformations and local yieldi...
