Tunnels

The frame "Settings" in conjunction with the "Analyses" tab allows for selecting the option "Tunnels". (This module has to be purchased by the user - otherwise this option is not available). When selecting the "Tunnels" regime it is possible to define and calculate:

  • excavations (Modeling a 3D effect at the tunnel face assuming the New Austrian method)
  • gradual degradation of beams
  • subjecting beams to thermal load
  • thermal load applied to selected regions ("Advanced program options")
  • prescribing swelling stress to selected regions
  • monitoring results

The mode "Tunnels" can be switched on/off at any time. The previous results will be, however, deleted. While switching from a standard regime to the "Tunnels" regime is safe, proceeding in the opposite direction results into deleting all input data - a warning message, however, appears before this action is completed.
