2D vs 3D tunnels with soil springs

Structural analysis gives importance to the uncertainty of load, acting on the structure. Hence, it conducts the member design for the largest member force obtained by combining various results systematically

2D vs 3D tunnels w/ ground elements

Ground analysis focuses more on the uncertainty of construction step and material itself, it is important to understand physical state inside the ground. As a result, solid elements need to be used in modeling to reflect the ground shape and construction situation; and non-linear anisotropic materials and in-situ stress states need to be considered to reflect the actual on-site conditions as much as possible.

Ground displacements associated with tunnel excavations occur in vector directions X-Y-Z,

thus to accurately represent ground behavior during tunnel excavation processes, detailed 3D numerical analysis is vital.

WHY model Tunnels in 3D FEM?

Modeling tunnels in 3D is becoming more attractive because of

limitations of the 2D modeling and because it captures the response of tunnel excavations more accurately.

The LDF keeps track of the Internal Forces of a deactivated element and loads it in stages according to the factor assigned for each construction stage, rather than loading it all at once.

Show CS stages of model

The ground stress from the non-linear analysis results in the previous stage is coupled and slope stability analysis is conducted.

Save the model information before analysis and the result information after analysis as a 3-dimensional

PDF document. Adjusting the 3D view on the PDF document and checking the cross-section information,

similar to the operations in the program, is possible. Hence, the 3D model/analysis result information can

all be checked on one PDF document without the model/result files.

Conclusions

• Tunnels have wide range of analysis and excavation methods.

• FEM allows for more accurate representation of all local conditions and coupling of multiple types

of analysis.

• 2D is advantageous when terrain is simple and tunnel segment is straight only.

• The 3D FEM allows for accurate simulation of terrain and sequential construction process.

• Modeling in 3D can be more time consuming and should be carried out after it was determined 2D

model has hit limit.
