EVALUATION OF STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE STRUCTURES APPLIED FOR MULTI-MICRO SHIELD TUNNEL

Metropolitan Expressway Public Corporation is now developing the technically challenging multi-micro shield tunnelling (MMST) method to construct huge span tunnels without use of the cut-and-cover method in urban areas minimizing environmental affects as well as the total construction cost. The experimental and analytical investigation of the flexural, shear and tensile resistant behaviors of the sandwich structure, the segment connector and the composite joint have been conducted to develop the reliable and cost effective joint structures as well as the design method for the MMST. A finite element approximation applying the concrete constitutive model based on fracture energy can well simulate the flexural and shear nonlinear behavior of the sandwich beam.
