A method of calculating water and soil loading on top of shallow shield tunnels near water areas

Long-term water seepage in shield tunnels has a serious impact on water and soil loading on the outer surfaces of a shield segment near water areas. A theoretical analysis was used to obtain a formula to express the average vertical seepage gradient at the top of the tunnel. A formula for calculatin...
