STRESS ANALYSIS AND HOOP REINFORCEMENT FOR A TAILRACE TUNNEL CONCRETE LINING

Stress analysis in the concrete lining of a tailrace tunnel is studied to evaluate the required hoop reinforcement. From the hoop stresses along the faces of the concrete lining, the normal forces, bending moments and the required hoop reinforcement are calculated. The analysis is performed to assess the minimum required hoop reinforcement in the concrete lining. (Author/TRRL)
