    Tunnel Shotcrete Design-1

    Uploaded by

    Muhammad Bilal
    This document presents a design method for steel fibre reinforced shotcrete tunnel linings. It involves calculating the load capacity from adhesion (Ca) and flexure (M), and checking that Ca is greater than 1.5 times the load (W) and M is greater than 0.8 times the maximum flexural capacity (Mmax). Input parameters like shape, size, steel fibre properties, and ground properties are provided. The results of applying the method to a wedge and square block lining shape are shown, and in both cases the flexural capacity check is not satisfied, indicating flexure must be provided for in poor ground.
