This communication deals with the effect of tunnel face reinforcement on the wall convergence and on the loads in the lining, studied by means of a homogenized anisotropic model for reinforced ground. While the tunneling process is generally handled in a plane ...

The paper addresses precast tunnel segments for the Line T02 of Saronno-Malpensa railway (Italy). After the experimental determination of the material properties, the structural behavior of the lining is simulated with FE analyses based on Non Linear Fracture ...
