CYCLIC LOADING TEST CONDUCTED ON THE BOTTOM JOINTS OF A HYBRID PRECAST UTILITY TUNNEL COMPOSED OF DOUBLE-SKIN SIDEWALLS AND A PRECAST BOTTOM SLAB

Cyclic Loading Test Conducted on the Bottom Joints of a Hybrid Precast Utility Tunnel Composed of Double-Skin Sidewalls and a Precast Bottom Slab

Four full-scale specimens were constructed, including two hybrid precast specimens with a haunch (height: 150 mm, PUT-H) and without a haunch (PUT).Additionally, two cast-in-place (CIP) comparative specimens (referred to as RUT-H and RUT) were included, Vacuum Cone Filter all of which underwent reversed cyclic loading.The results showed that the fo
