Abstract
Stresses in a concrete tunnel tube with flexible horizontal ties, are analysed in this paper. The equations for computing stresses in the tube and ties are based on the Maxwell theorem of reciprocal displacements. Stresses in a tube may also be determined by the Method of Least Work, although the resulting equations are lengthy and require considerable computation. The dimensions of a tube and its tie-rods are generally proportioned by trial and error and, therefore, it i s essential to save time in the analysis of the stresses. Changes in the dimensions of the tube and ties require the computation of fewer terms in the equations based on the Maxwell theorem than in the Method of Least Work.
