A computational framework to predict the water‐leakage pressure of segmental joints in underwater shield tunnels using an advanced finite element method

Summary The construction of shield tunnels under riverbeds and seabeds has considerably increased over the past decades. Due to the ultra‐high water head, water leakage through tunnel joints is a major concern during a tunnel's service life. One practical solution to prevent groundwater penetra...
