Numerical modeling of time-dependent deformation and induced stresses in concrete pipes constructed in Queenston shale using micro-tunneling technique

Effects of time-dependent deformation (TDD) on a tunnel constructed using the micro-tunneling technique in Queenston shale (QS) are investigated employing the finite element method. The TDD and strength parameters of the QS were measured from tests conducted on QS specimens soaked in water and lubri...
