Abstract
The DPLEX shield method employs a shield having a parallel link-type e xcavation mechanism to build shield tunnels of various cross-sectional shapes (rectangle, oval, etc.). The segment used with the DPLEX metho d has a rational cross-sectional shape, that is, a rounded rectangle o btained by putting together curved sections having different radius of curvature. This paper describes the results of experiments conducted using a shield in work and segment models for the development of the D PLEX shield method.
