Success of these tunnel projects depends on the linings being safe and easy to construct, watertight, and able to resist loads from ground and water, as well as the loads imposed by the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). Being precast elements, there is no opportunity to change the design once construction begins, so all these elements have to be carefully designed into the lining from the outset.<\/p>\n<p>As well as an understanding of all permanent load conditions, good design requires an understanding of the TBM, contractors\u2019 expertise and preferences, segment manufacturing process, storage, and handling. When designing for these conditions the designer must also ensure that all fixtures and fittings used to aid the erection of a robust linings \u2013 such as bolts, dowels, and gaskets \u2013 are sufficient to fulfil their role over the expected range of construction and operating conditions.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"left\">Objectives<\/h3>\n<p>This course is designed to give students an understanding of the basic concepts of the design of precast segmental tunnel linings, covering all the above areas, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manufacture<\/li>\n<li>Storage and transportation<\/li>\n<li>Erection in the tail shield of the TBM<\/li>\n<li>TBM advance, ram loads, and grouting<\/li>\n<li>Permanent loads<\/li>\n<li>Ring design<\/li>\n<li>Joint design<\/li>\n<li>Bolt and gasket design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the end of the course, students will have sufficient knowledge to undertake a simple segmental lining design, or to engage in more complex designs under the direction of more experienced designers. They will also be aware of some of the common errors in design that can result in poor performance that often leads to problems building, damage, and loss of waterproofing, as well as how to avoid them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Every year thousands of kilometres of tunnel are lined with precast concrete segmental tunnel linings.
