Metro tunnel structural design requires comprehensive analysis of the effects of soil conditions, groundwater, traffic loads, and existing structures at ground level.
Depending on project conditions, tunnel structures may be designed to accommodate different construction methods, such as Cut & Cover or Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) excavation.
Proper structural analysis and the selection of appropriate engineering solutions help ensure load-bearing capacity, control deformation, and enhance the long-term durability of the tunnel throughout its operational life.
