Abstract:Due to its advantages (fast and accurate calculations), the Hyperstatic Reaction Method (HRM) was used to calculate the internal forces of circular tunnel linings in former works. This paper presents an improved HRM method that is developed to estimate the internal forces induced in square and rectangular tunnel linings. Based on the comparison of the internal forces induced in these linings obtained from the HRM method and the finite element method (FEM), the improved HRM method was validated. An extensive pa… Show more
