Structural Forces Tunnel

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! I have tried to evaluate the structural forces in a tunnel with the help of the automated tool from plaxis (Structural Forces in Volume Plate), This works pretty good for the...
Stress Transfer between Pre-existing Tunnel and Newly Introduced Structure

Hello, I am using Plaxis2D to simulate an existing tunnel, within which I have introduced a new structure. Both structures have been modeled using triangular plate elements. During the long-term analysis...
Soil arching effect in soil excavation and how to represent that in Plaxis

Hi all, The retaining system contains H piles and the steel plate lagging and the lagging arrangement can be 1. behind the front flange 2. behind the end flange as shown below. My questions are...
What will be the staged construction phases if an existing tunnel is modelled which is embedded into the soil under seismic loading?

I have to model an existing tunnel and perform the analysis under seismic loading. What will be the phases for staged construction in PLAXIS 2D?
Drained zone around the tunnel

Hi all, I created a 2D Plaxis model where we have a tunnel 16m under the surface. The water level is 11m above the ridge. In the construction state, the water is drained 4m around the tunnel. I have...
