Analysis of Tunnel Liner Response in Squeezing Heterogeneous Rockmasses

Squeezing ground in tunnelling is a unique method of failure, typically occurring in ductile rock at depth. To accommodate this mechanism of failure, liners have been designed such that they reduce in circumference as the support takes on initial load. Technological development in this area is all...
