Analytical model for the sealant performance of tunnel gasketed joints based on multi-scale contact and percolation theories

The localised leakage in shield tunnels that mainly occurs at segment joints may induce other defects, which threatens operational safety. To obtain a universal solution for the sealant performance of gasketed joints, we proposed a novel analytical model based on the multiscale contact and percolati...
