Abstract
Urban tunnel projects are significantly influenced by the risk of settlement when passing beneath existing buildings. In order to minimise the unavoidable deformations in the subsoil, especially tunnels in poor ground conditions are designed to be as rigid as possible. Construction using tunnelling machines with segmental lining is an appropriate method of achieving this. These tunnels consist of rings of lining segments (Fig. 1). The rings are coupled at the circumferential joints using cam-pocket couplings (Fig. 2a).
