Requirements for segmental liners:
- Full plane surface contact in radial and
circumferential joints due to the high loads
being transferred among them
- Correct linear dimensions to avoid stepping
and lipping
- Correct angles between contact surfaces to
minimize birds mouthing or uneven point
loads
Documentary evidence that only certified segments have been used in the tunnel
construction

Suggested Quality Assurance of Segments
1. Measurement control of all moulds before mass production
2. Measurement control of all segments after first pouring
3. Measurement control of all segments after 10
th
pouring

pouring
th
pouring
6. Tolerances on closed(built) ring must NOT be the sum of all
individual tolerances.
7. Individual tolerances should be compensated with the
mathematical sign
8. Every controlled segment must be proved by a record sheet
