... under steady-state conditions, little to no attention has been given to transient conditions. This paper addresses this gap in the current literature by presenting a novel model for evaluating the behaviour of reinforced concrete linings in hydraulic tunnels during transient conditions. This approach...

...Riccardo Stucchi, CEng Existing literature covers the behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) tunnel linings in hydraulic tunnels during filling and steady-state conditions. However, certain aspects remain insufficiently addressed, risking the under-dimensioning of structures, particularly concerning...
