Abstract
The field of application of mechanized tunnelling has been extended in recent years. Segmental linings are usually utilized in these tunnels. So far no single effective calculation method exists for segmental lining design. Analyses of segmental tunnel lining using analytical method by Einstein & Schwartz, the elastic equation method, a numerical analysis using the Hyperstatic Reaction Method and a two-dimensional numerical analysis have been conducted in this work. The case study which has been investigated is the Hanoi metro project. For this underground work, each analysis is compared and discussed.
