Effects of Water Inrush from Tunnel Excavation Face on the Deformation and Mechanical Performance of Shield Tunnel Segment Joints

Water inrush from the excavation face often occurs in the current shield construction of metro tunnels. In this study, the discontinuity of shield tunnel lining and the interaction between the tunnel segments, the grouting layer, and the surrounding rock are considered. Based on the 3D nonlinear con...
