- •
Large-scale inflatable structures can be used for sealing tunnel segments.
- •
Proper deployment is critical for sealing effectiveness.
- •
Full-scale experiments to maximize sealing capacity are complex and expensive.
- •
FE simulations of deployment and evaluation of conformity can reduce test iterations.
- •
Simulation reproduces well deployment dynamics and levels of contact.
