An anchor rail has a base body having a longitudinal groove that extends along a longitudinal center line of the anchor rail, and a rail back, fixed with an anchor, on the side opposite the longitudinal groove. The base body has a one front side perpendicular to the longitudinal center line and fixed with an end plate that protrudes beyond the rail back to the side of the base body facing away from the longitudinal groove and supports an anchoring element, which extends from the side of the end plate on which the base body is arranged. The end plate is flush to the front side and does not protrude into the base body. For a building structure with a concrete member, into which an anchor rail is cast, the longitudinal groove is on a first router side of the concrete member. The end plate runs along a second side of the concrete member and the anchoring element protrudes into the concrete member.

The invention relates to a tunnel lining segment made of reinforced concrete, wherein the tunnel lining segment has a load transfer area for a longitudinal joint, with at least one steel bar with an end face being installed in the tunnel lining segment, the steel bar being arranged in the tunnel lining segment in such a way that a tangent to a centroidal axis of the steel bar encloses an angle of between 0° and 45° in the end face with a normal to the load transfer area, and wherein the end face arranged at a distance (a) from the load transfer area which is between 0 mm and 50 mm, preferably between 0 mm and 10 mm.

An aspect concerns a method (10) of producing a precast building product. The method (10) includes providing a mould (26) to receive a pourable building substance to be cured. The method further includes the steps of pouring the building substance into the mould and allowing the poured building substance to cure inside the mould to form a sold mass body. The method further includes providing a wire-cutting assembly operatively associated with the mould and cutting the solid mass body inside the mould into separate building products.

A system and method for simultaneous excavation and segment erection of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) by Thrust shell system is an invention in tunnelling industry which will provide possibility of erection of the segmental ring while TBM is excavating and advancing forward with minimum interruption which will result in significantly increasing of the tunneling speed. The increased speed of the tunnelling will be reducing cost of the construction expressively. At this system and method, the TBM thrust cylinders will be pushing against previously installed segmental ring via combination of a thrust shell and an expandable ring while a new segmental ring is being built by TBM's segment erector within the Thrust shell's provided inner space.
