Comparison of the Results of Analytical and Numerical Models of Pre-Reinforcement in Shallow Tunnels

The steel pipe umbrella is a widely used technology when tunnelling in weak soils in order to create pre-support ahead of the tunnel face. The design of steel pipes is frequently done through simplified analytical approaches which are easy to apply but require proper assessment of the loads acting o...
