Experimental Research on the Transverse Effective Bending Rigidity of Shield Tunnels

The uniform rigidity ring model is commonly used to design the segmented structures of shield tunnels. However, model tests have been primarily used to study the transverse effective rigidity ratio η with a concentrated force, which is notably different from realistic loading patterns. To obtain mor...
