Enhanced elastic beam model with BADS integrated for settlement assessment of immersed tunnels
Excessive settlement may induce structural damage and water leakage in immersed tunnels, seriously threatening the tunnels’ safety. However, making accurate assessment of the settlement in immersed tunnels is difficult due to the incomplete knowledge of ...
