Research for the Load Method of the Metro Lining Segment

Bearing capacity tests of three reinforced concrete lining segments were carried out. The effect of the loading method and ultimate bearing capacity of the reinforced concrete lining segments and the maximum displacement and reinforcement ratio on the failure mechanism was analyzed based on the simulation results. The simulation results show that the yield load and ultimate load of the lining segments can be effectively increased because of the axial force effect. the loading method on the full surface was proposed. The the ultimate load and yielding load increase as the reinforcement ratio increase is radial distribution in the state.
