the composite shaft lining of high strength concrete and double steel cylinders is presented. Through model experiments
the characteristics of stress and bearing capacity of the composite shaft lining of high strength concrete and double steel cylinders are obtained. In the end
an equation for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity is given based on the theoretical research and experimental results. Thus
the studied results may provide a design basis for engineering practice of this kind of shaft lining structure. The studied results have been successfully applied in four shafts.
