Use the tunnel designer in PLAXIS 2D to quickly generate reinforcement patterns with rock bolt or cable bolt elements on the underground excavation perimeter or tunnel lining. Defined reinforcement sets can later be changed easily by updating the spacing, length or number of bolts and regenerating the tunnel geometry.
