Expanded Tunnel Linings
Expanded Tunnel Linings
(OP)
Hi Group,
I am writing my thesis about expanded tunnel linings and I need to find examples of tunnels where this type of linings were used( except London Clay). It is very hard to find information about this topic. Can anyone give me any information,tipps etc..?
Thanks,

RE: Expanded Tunnel Linings
I would doubt that many have been constructed in sands and gravels to be honest.

I have found a Patent in the USA form early 30's. An Engineer named A W Warner has developed a wegde block lining system and this system was used in many tunnels.(H.J. Donovan's article in the February 1974 example of Tunnels&Tunneling).
Expanded concrete linings are being used in Munich Aqueduct tunnel, but they are not very successful.(Sand + Gravel).
