Mechanical Response and Stability Assessment of Deteriorated Tunnel Linings Under Prescribed Cyclic Stress Changes
This study investigates how initial material deterioration and repeated stress changes affect the response of lining–rock systems during tunnel reconstruction and expansion. Monotonic uniaxial compression tests on limestone specimens with gypsum linings were monitored using digital image correlation. A corresponding nu...
