Abstract
This work focuses on the analysis of the behavior of prestressed reinforced concrete tunnel lining elements as a function of the geometric configuration of segments. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the segment shape on the structural stability, stress redistribution, and deformation characteristics of structural elements.
Purpose: The aim of the work is to identify the most effective options. Design solutions are analyzed to improve the reliability and constructability of the tunnel lining with the use of boring machines.
Methodology: Numerical simulation methods are used to assess the stress-strain state of the lining for various segment arrangements. Structural and technological aspects are studied for implementing new geometric configurations.
Research findings: The obtained results can be used to improve the design and construction processes of precast tunnel lining and the performance characteristics of tunnel structures under various geotechnical conditions.
