Reinforced Cement Concrete Lining Considering that it is Cracked and &at Because of Radial Cracks it Cannot Take 
Tangential Tensile Stress
1. Basic Equation for Rock:(As per IS 4880 Part‐IV Cl D‐3.5)

Here,
t1 = tangential stress in rock,
r1 = radial stress in rock,
U1 = radial deformation in rock,
2
E1 = modulus of elasticity of rock, = 1600000 kN/m
2
E2 = modulus of elasticity of concrete, = 25000000 kN/m
2
E3 = modulus of elasticity of steel, = 200000000 kN/m
m1 = poission's ratio of rock, = 0.25
x = radius of element, = 5.4 m
a = internal diameter of tunnel, = 9.1 m
b = external diameter of lining, = 10.8 m
2
p = internal hydrostatic pressure, = 500 kN/m
2
As = area of reinforcement per unit length of tunnel = 0.0103342 m /m

C1 & r2 = constants,
2
 (r2)x=a = ‐292.322 kN/m
2
C1 = 0.08978 m

2
t1 = 788.187 kN/m
0.788 MPa
2
r1 = ‐788.187 kN/m
‐0.788 MPa
U1 = 0.0098659 m

Tensile Strength of the Rock (from Rock Lab) corresponding to UCS=48 Mpa and mi=10 is 4.8 MPa and so
