Discontinuities for the purpose of modelling contact of tunnel segments
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…
