RADIAL JOINTS FOR PRECAST SEGMENTAL TUNNEL LININGS

This report gives details of tests carried out on two types of radial joint for use with precast concrete tunnel-lining segments: (1) concave-convex or knuckle joints; (2) flat-ended joints with deformable inserts. Failure modes and ultimate loads are discussed, and design recommendations made. (TRRL)
