Introduction on FRC Segments

Precast Segmental Tunnel Lining • Serves as both initial ground support and final

lining in modern TBM tunnels • Providing the required operational cross-section • Controlling groundwater inflow

Reference: AECOM tunnel design (2013) – North Shore Connector, Pittsburg, PA

FRC Precast Tunnel Segments • Used in more than 50 tunnel projects • First FRC tunnel segments: Metrosud (1982)

Reference: ACI 544.AR (2015)—Draft Emerging Technology Report on Design and Construction of FiberReinforced Precast Concrete Tunnel Segments

General Information on FRC Segments Used in Tunnel Projects • Tunnel functions: water/waste water, gas pipeline, power cable, subway, railway, and road tunnels • Internal diameters: 7.2’-37.4’ (2.2-11.4 m) • Min. & max thickness: 6” (15 cm) & 16” (40 cm) • Steel fiber dosages: 40-100 pcy (25-60 kg/m3) • Diameter-to-thickness: 12-30 Reference: ACI 544.AR (2015)—Draft Emerging Technology Report on Design and Construction of FiberReinforced Precast Concrete Tunnel Segments

Advantages of FRC Segments • More ductility & robustness • Crack width reduction • High strength against unintentional impact loads • Improved precast production efficiency • Reduce spalling or bursting of concrete cover at vulnerable edges and corners Reference: Maccaferri Asia (2013)—Segmental tunnel linings with fibre reinforced concrete, TUTG, Bangkok, 12 September 2013

Future Research Studies • Optimized hybrid (fiber+rebar) design for largediameter tunnels > 24 ft (7.3 m)

Future Research Studies • Minimum FRC characteristics as sole reinforcement for ductility requirement and crack control f  3.8MPa (540 psi ) L

f R1  4 MPa (580 psi )

Future Research Studies • Allowable crack width for segmental tunnel linings considering tunnel infiltration/exfiltration (flow) Flow through parallel plates

Conclusion • In mid-size tunnels use of fibers in segment can lead to elimination of steel bars at the ultimate limit state (ULS), which in turn results in significant construction cost saving. • Use of fiber in tunnel segments results in reduction of crack width in under the service load for Serviceability Limit State (SLS) design. • Different standard FRC constitutive laws give similar axial force-bending moment interaction diagrams as the key design tool for designing precast tunnel segments.
