Abstract: Finite element (FE) simulations are an integral element of the planning and design process for mechanized tunneling projects. The models needed for these simulations are typically manually generated using 2D-CAD drawings, which is a laborious and time-consuming process. Recent trends incorporating Building Information Modeling (BIM) concepts offer opportunities to simplify this process by using...
Abstract: In current tunneling practice, it is recommend to employ Finite Element (FE) simulations in order to ensure a high degree of safety and quality. As such, FE models form an integral element in the planning and the design process of mechanized tunneling projects. These models needed for the simulations are oftentime consuming to construct and require data from many different sources. However,as...
Abstract: Fast growing urban areas put high requirements on the existing infrastructure systems. Due to limited surface space in this high populated areas the demand for underground projects increased continiousily in the last few decades. Frequently, finished projects do not reach the highest possi-ble production performance. Reasons for this are complex and can often not be identified clearly. The...
