Abstract: With the rapid development of urban rail transit, the shielded tunneling technology is widely used in the construction of rail transit. It has become the primary choice of tunnel construction. However, the generally accepted opinion is not identified in selection of an appropriate analysis method as well as the analysis software for the shielded tunnel segment. In this paper, two different shielded segment analysis software for predicting the internal forces in the shielded segment are compared in a practical project. This paper also presents the appropriate recommendations of the analysis in the shielded segment based on the comparison and analysis of the two different software in modeling methods, the load conditions and the results.
