Research on the Combined Load-Bearing Mechanism of Deeply Buried Pressure Pipelines Under High Internal Water Pressure by LIU Yijie, ZHANG Xuhui, HUANG Bensheng, YANG Fengjie, YUAN Mingdao, XU Yunqian

“…The extent of this shift depended on the overall structural parameters and the magnitude of the applied internal water pressure. (3) Given that the deformation of the steel lining under internal water pressure typically occurred at the millimeter scale, even minor interlayer gaps significantly affected the load transfer and distribution within the composite system formed by the steel lining, concrete layer, and surrounding rock. …”
