Evaluation On The Effects Of Nodrainageboundary Condition To The Groundwater Pressure Surrounding The Natm Permanent Cast In-Situ Tunnel Lining

Urbanisation of city and urban area has resulted in urging needs for the construction of new water resources for industrial and residential area. Raw water transfer tunnel is one of the solutions for this problem, as it can transfer water from region with abundant water to water scarcity regions. Tu...
