Grant Activity:
Reducing the severity of cracking in fibre reinforced shotcrete linings
Purpose:
This project aims to advance fundamental knowledge on the serviceability behaviour of fibre reinforced shotcrete tunnel linings with respect to early age cracking induced by restrained shrinkage. The project will establish a theoretical framework and best construction practice guidelines to account for different restraint and geometric conditions to ensure stringent crack control requirements are adhered to for the entire design life of newly constructed large tunnels. A framework to assess and predict the remaining service life of existing tunnel structures will be developed. This project is vital for tunnel asset management as detection and monitoring of early age cracking is critical to both safety and reducing ongoing maintenance costs.
