The Stress in a Circular Shaft Lining Caused by Earth Pressure Acting on It

Abstract

In this paper is described the results of analytical study on the. stress in a circular shaft lining caused by the earth pressure distribu ted uniformly or irregularly. By employing the results obtained, the stress distributions on the inner and the outer surfaces of shaft linings subjected to nine states of earth pressure are calculated.
The authors have presented a method to estimate the possible maximum stresses in a shaft lining for the purpose of contributing to the proper design of a shaft lining.
