Abstract: |
For the driving of cross passages in mechanized tunnelling, different systems can be used for load transfer at the cross passage opening. With thin segmental linings, achieving high load-bearing capacity of the precast lining and the load transfer elements used pose a great challenge. For the selection of a system, not only the required support measures but also practical construction aspects such as the integration of the load transfer elements into the precast element and the installation of the elements play an important role. The use of shear dowels as a connection and load transfer element between segment rings in the cross passageoffers new possibilities in mechanized tunnelling. Particularly in connection with thin segmental linings, flexible systems of plastic with integrated steel core make it possible to resist loads with large deformations, both in the radial and longitudinal directions. In order to investigate the system behaviour of the overall system of segmental lining with thin construction and plastic shear dowels, shear tests were performed at the Chair for Subsurface Engineering of the Montanuniversität Leoben with a dowel system as the connecting element between segments. The objective of the research project initiated by the ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG is to determine the effects of different reinforcement concepts on the load-bearing capacity of the connection system. Ways of determining the failure of the construction element based on crack detection are also described. |
