Limited Value of Longitudinal Seam Stretching for Underwater High-Speed Railway Shield Tunnel

The limited value of longitudinal seam stretching is important for the safety of underwater high-speed railway tunnels. This paper discusses the limited value by carrying out the full-scale joint test and whole ring prototype test, and the relationship between the amount of longitudinal seam stretching and a series of control values, such as maximum stress, maximum displacement, and maximum crack width, has been tested. Furthermore, the limited value of longitudinal seam stretching is recommended to be 3mm.
