| "When a shield tunnel is planned in good ground condition with deep overburden, the construction stage loads acting on the tunnel lining during construction stage have a great effect on lining design. In this paper, field measurements at a shield tunnel construction site were carried out to investigate the effect of the dead weight of segments and construction stage loads on the lining during construction stage. The method to evaluate the behavior of the tunnel lining due to the construction stage loads and dead weight of segments during assembly of a tunnel ring was also investigated." |
