Abstract:
This article is Part 2 of a two-part examination of the design and analysis of curved tunnel linings placed in direct contact with and restrained by the surrounding ground. While Part 1 focused on design considerations and a brief history of tunnel linings, Part 2 provides recommendations for tunnel analysis and proposes changes to ACI capacity calculations
