Effect of local openings on bearing behavior and failure mechanism of shield tunnel segments

Local failures (loss of concrete or reinforcement) can severely compromise the bearing capacity of shield segments, damaging the tunnel structures. To investigate the effects of local openings on the bearing behavior and failure mechanism, four full-scale bending tests were conducted on specimens wi...
