Coffee Corner: Geotechnical Analysis - Efficient Tunnel Advancement for Complex NATM Tunnels in PLAXIS

For shorter tunnel sections, tunnels with variable geometry, and tunnels in mixed ground conditions, NATM provides a cost-effective, flexible, and safe tunnelling method.

In this month’s Geotechnical Coffee Corner, we will take a deeper look into the PLAXIS Tunnel designer and how we can use this to efficiently model conventional or NATM tunnel excavation sequences.

In this Coffee Corner we will cover:

  • Using the PLAXIS Tunnel Designer wizard

  • Adding supports and excavation sequence using tunnel advancement procedures

  • Using the tunnel “split” functionality for modelling separate construction sequences from one tunnel geometry
