SHEAR CHECK OK
For the circumferential joint a more even stress distribution over the joint is expected and hence "h" shall be taken as the full
segment thickness of 275 mm
Segment shall be checked for failure planes at 30°, 45° and 60°
The hoop reinforcement is considered to act in tension and therefore provide resistance to shear force. The longitudinal
reinforcement, however, is not considered to provide any restraint.
The hoop reinforcement is provided as hook-type and therefore the required anchorage length is 16 times the bar diameter:
Anchorage length =
Failure planes are assumed to occur at a distance of 300 mm from the segment edge.
Consider only reinforcement which has sufficient anchorage length to develop bond. Thus for the 30° and 45° shear planes. Only
the outer layer of reinforcement is active. For the 60° shar plane the two outermost layers of reinforcement are active.

6 MAIN REINFORCEMENT
6.1 Hoop Reinforcement
The contact stresses at the radial joints produce an eccentricity which creates a bending moment in the lining. This is not
accounted for in the curtis equations. To allow for this, the induced moment will be added to that from the curtis equations:
The eccentricity assumed in the lining is derived from the section 4.1
Eccentricity of thrust through the joint = 30.1029572419 mm
Eccentricity taken as larger of above value and 20 mm.
Hoop Load (from Curtis Equations) = 781.53 KN/m
Additional bending moment is given by 781.53 x 30.10296 = 23.5263 KNm/m
Bending moment from Curtis equations = = 90.3672 KNm/m
Total bending moment = = 113.893 KNm/m
fy = 500 N/mm2
fck = 50 N/mm2
b = 1400 mm
D = 275 mm
d' = 54 mm
Forces adjusted for segment length:
Pu = 1094.14058172 KN
Mu = 159.451 KNm/m
Pu/(fckbD) = 0.05683847178
Mu/(fckbD2) = 0.0301205931
d'/D = 0.19636363636
Using Design chart for d'/D = 0.1963636364 results in a required area of steel of zero to resist the applied axial
load and combined uniaxial bending as calculated above.
With reference to BS 8110 a minimum of 0.4 % steel should be provided .
0.2515 Pu/(bh) = 2.84192358889
100As/(bD) = 0.25153
As = 968.377296467 mm2

However in order to resist moments induced by lifting and handling of the segments, Provide

As prov. = 1026.78 mm2
REINF. IS SUFFICIENT,O.K.
for one segment, the total area of steel required is = 1279.2853125 mm2
Area of steel per face = 639.64265625 mm2
Provide 17 No. T8 bars (each face)
As prov. = 854.08 mm2
REINF. IS SUFFICIENT,O.K.
6.3 Grouting Pressures
Assuming that the grout pressure will be 1 bar in excess of hydrostatic pressure and making a worst
case scenario assumption that the hydrostatic pressure to tunnel axis is: = 14.6
The grout pressure is given by: 10 m + 14.6 m = 24.6
Note: Unequal grouting pressure effects are avoided by the presence of grout holes in all segments.
