Abstract: Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an emerging tool in the tunneling industry. The need for development of an efficient system that improves interdisciplinary coordination and minimizes production time and human errors is essential in a fast-paced project. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of BIM application in tunneling and illustrate the range of applicability in all...
Abstract: The TBM-bored tunnels consist of tapered individual rings that are installed and rotated in a manner that straight and curved alignments are negotiated with the smallest deviation possible from the theoretical alignment. This deviation is an inherent feature of the segmental ring systems because a segmental ring is always built in the shape of a cylinder. Therefore, TBM guidance through a...
