    This document discusses the design and analysis of precast segmental concrete tunnel linings. The main objectives are to understand the design process of precast tunnel linings and model a tunnel in ETABS for analysis and design. The document outlines the methodology used to design the tunnel lining according to AASHTO specifications. It includes diagrams of the forces, moments, and deflected shape of the tunnel. The conclusion states that tunnel construction poses risks but tunnel engineers take on these challenges to achieve technological successes.

    ABSTRACT

    OBJECTIVES

    Tunnels play a key role in assisting


    the movement of people, goods, and
    special services. The functionality of
    tunnels depends on the structural and
    durability performance of its lining system.
    Tunnel lining systems act as lines of defense
    against large overburden loads and complex
    geotechnical surrounding conditions. The use
    of precast concrete tunnel linings has been
    escalating due to its ecient and
    economical
    installation
    process
    compared to that of normal cast
    in-situ lining practice.

    The main objective of


    this
    project
    is
    to
    understand and review the
    design process of precast
    segmental concrete
    tunnel
    lining. Furthermore, tunnel
    modeling using ETABS
    were carried out for
    analysis and design.

    SIGNIFICANCE
    & MOTIVATION
    Tunnel construction is one of the most
    complex challenges in the eld of civil
    engineering but these challenges havent stopped
    engineers from dreaming up even bigger and
    bolder ideas. If Mughals could make
    remarkable construction from early 15th
    century to early 18th century then why
    today we are afraid of adopting
    modernized tunnel techniques for
    building this unique structure.

    METHODOLOGY
    The design has been carried out in accordance with AASHTO LRFD
    Specications for precast segmental concrete tunnel lining. The
    tunnel accommodates a typical railway section carrying a broad
    gauge rail track including a maintenance walk.

    CONCLUSION
    We all are aware of the fact that there are lots of risks involved but
    tunnel Engineers take such risks in the hope of favorable
    outcomes. Many tunnels are considered as technological
    masterpieces and governments have honored tunnel
    engineers as heroes.
