An Analytical Solution for DOT Shield-Driven Tunnel Lining

摘要

This paper presents an analytical solution for the prediction of internal forces of a jointed segmental precast DOT (Double-O-tube) lining. The 'force method' is used to determine the internal forces of DOT lining. The comparison is also made between the numerical results and analytical solution under the same condition. And the analytical solution makes a good agreement with the numerical results.
