Read MoreProblem in modelling shield tunnel in plaxis 2d ?
Q&A
Mohammad Sadegh Soheilipour
Post Your Answer
- 23 Aug 2019
Hello
I'm working on modelling of a shield tunnel in Plaxis and design of its segmental lining...
I am aware that for simulating the volume loss due to the tunnel boring process the "contraction" of the tunnel lining can be specified.
Would you please help me about this problems:
1- In the "tunnel designer" option in plaxis the radius should be the inner radius of the "lining" or the outer one?
2- How can I implement the over-excavation? I mean is there any relation between the contraction ratio and the diameter of the cutter head of TBM? In my project the diameter of the TBM is 9.40m and diameter of the lining is 9.10 (out) and 8.40(in) .
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards.

Installation of GCM layer at the inner face of solid waste retaining dam ( Reinforcement soil embankment)
Q&A

Post Your Answer
- 16 Aug 2019
More than 40 m high reinforcement Soil Embankment dam is designed to retain solid waste. The dam is constructed phase wise. In the inner face (towards solil waste disposal face), impreable layer (GCM) will be installed, which would be exposed in open environment for a long time. Now, the question is how this GCM layer can be protected against sun light and safety against vandalism the faces.
