Discontinuities for the purpose of modelling contact of tunnel segments

Jovan Saponjic

I am modelling a TBM-bored tunnel in Plaxis 2D, and in order to obtain a more percise stress field in the segmental lining in the zones of contact between segments, I have decided to model the tunnel lining as "soil" elements with the corresponding material…

Jointed rock model- Dam foundation

Navid Besharat

Hi, I'm attempting to use the Jointed rock model in plaxis2D as the foundation for modifications to an existing dam project. However, my initial condition is collapsing. There is no issue and I am able to conduct the entire stages when utilising other…

Open excavation in jointed rock

Omar Baltaji

HI, I am trying to simulate an excavation in jointed rock. However, once the rock is exposed (after excavating the soil), the jointed rock fails in tension even if i provide a realistic small tensile capacity. Are there examples of an excavation (not…
