This is a weekly update after a really long time. Week 14 & 15 was off because of Easter Vacations. Along with lot of catching up with the course work, I also had a chance to visit some places in Italy :) (some of the photos are shared here)
Week 16 (May 5th to 9th) of the Tunnelling & TBM course was dedicated for understanding the concepts and design steps related to Segmental Lining design for Tunnels excavated using TBM. With the background on Lining design for SEM/NATM construction (Week 6 of this course), this week, Mr. Moreno Pescara (Technical Director from Geodata) gave us an overview of Universal rings, gaskets, design steps and precautions to be taken as a Tunnel designer. We also had a Guest Lecturer from Turin public transport authority who gave us a design case study on Torino Metro.
This was Part 1 of lecture on Segmental Lining, more details on the segmental lining and case studies are expected to be covered in the future weeks (Week 18-19). Keep looking for Segmental Lining Design (Part 2) for summary of the lessons, references and spreadsheets.
