1 SFRC Design TS3 & 5 Bored tunnel


Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) design of bored tunnel for Tunnel stretch TS-03
(PBG to SDB) and TS-05 (NAB to CROSSOVER) recommended based on design report;
DC05-TN-GEN-069.

2 SFRC Criteria
DMRC guideline for design of SFRC segments recommends the performance class as 5d
for any fiber reinforcement design of segment Considering the compressive strength and
tensile post cracking performance measured at 28 days.
