1) IntroductionLoad sharing – Internal Water Pressure
Load Sharing is defined as sharing of the internal pressure in a water system between the ground and the liner. The pressure is transmitted from the liner to the ground through the annular backfill. The ability of the ground to handle these loads is determined by verification of rock modulus using in-situ testing, verifying sufficient ground cover, control of the annular backfill strength/stiffness, and proper liner design.

Kieser’s (1960) Method Prestressing segmented liner
As reported by Szechy (1966)
1. circumferential concrete bedding is placed, providing a smooth surface and grout barrier
2. grout fissures in rock and annular space
3. concrete segments erected4. 1-1/4” gap use low
pressure grouted until return in adjacent hole
5. finally pressure grouted to 150% of working load until cement suspension is hardened.
