Mechanized tunneling method has been widely adopted in underground tunneling projects to help support the fast pace of construction, achieve high levels of automation, reach minimal environmental impacts and maintain decent ground movement control. Ground movement control is related to the serviceability criteria when it comes to the impact assessment of underground tunneling activities, especially in the developed city area amongst congested infrastructures. As computational power nowadays is cheap and attainable, there are growing interest in using computerized programs to solve complex geotechnical problems.
Join us for a quick showcase of a full-scale tunnel construction using TBM method, with the potential of being simulated in PLAXIS 3D.
