TunnelAssistant - Empirical design of underground openings
Tunnel Assistant is a unique software for the empirical design of underground openings. Get expert advice in three main steps,
Design,
Consult,
Calculate...
Ready 1. Design according to experts recommendations. Define method of design and actions to take place for the stability of the opening. Evaluate the fitness of design method based on underground conditions encountered. 2. Consult using rock mass classification systems and artificial intelligence (AI). Stability of underground openings is examined with the Q system, RMR system, RMi system and the GSI - Hoek and Brown Criterion. An AI module is used to assess stability using an expert system technique, fuzzy logic, neural networks and statistical multiple regression methods. Results are compared to a database of constructed underground works. 3. Calculate in situ and tangential stresses around opening, estimate rock mass performance, define support requirements based on acceptable deformations. With the use of Tunnel Assistant the engineer has a wide range of available alternatives during design or construction stage. The new version (v.2) is out!
