Bentley Webinar | Modeling With Tunnel Designer in PLAXIS 2D & 3D

Tunnels are created to make it easier to navigate through challenging topographical and geological formations. Tunnel design is the integration of technical concepts and construction methods. To develop a safe and feasible design, expertise of geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, and construction techniques must be coupled. The complex non-linear ground behavior as a result of tunnelling, and the technique for designing a tunnel, demands a variety of sophisticated calculations to analyze the effect of interaction between ground and excavation support to achieve a safe and stable condition. Using the PLAXIS application, which was created particularly to give geotechnical engineers a hands-on tool through the tunnel analysis and design process, is one of the most effective ways to complete designing a tunnel.

In this webinar, we'll discuss:

• Modelling of Tunnel structures and determination of forces and displacements on the tunnel
• Detailed discussion on Tunnel designer
• Overview of introducing cable bolts and rock bolts along the length of tunnel

The primary goal of this webinar is to incorporate geotechnical knowledge into the tunnel design process using PLAXIS software. It emphasizes creating some relevant examples of tunnels at each stage that are simulations of sequential construction.
