A study on the design loads of concrete lining using Ground-Lining Interaction model for improving competitiveness in Korea Rail NATM Tunnel

Estimation of loads acting on NATM tunnel concrete lining is one of the major issues in tunnel design. Generally, the tunnel loads are estimated by empirical methods, but those are likely to be subjective and sometimes too excessive. Ground-Lining Interaction(G.L.I) model has been developed on the concept that the...
