Load Characteristics of Tunnel Lining in Flooded Loess Strata considering Loess Structure
Loess has a unique structure and water sensitivity, and the immersion of loess leads to many tunnel lining problems in shallowly buried tunnels.Based on a tunnel in Gansu Province in China, two failure glide planes of a shallowly buried loess tunnel and their immersion modes are summarized.Finite element calculation of the structural Duncan-Chang c
