This webinar is a part of the series Tunnel your way to success with PLAXIS.

Thousands of years ago, the earliest tunnels emerged as connectors between various ancient structures. Over time the demand to connect the world urged the rapid advancement of tunnelling techniques, powered by the evolution of sophisticated equipment.

Nowadays, tunnel engineering plays a central role in the massive geotechnical ventures within the transportation domain, such as railways and highways. Tunnel engineers struggle with a mass of challenges during the design phase, including best way to model the digital soil/rock and the complex choreography of tunnel construction procedures, trajectories, and modelling, all of which demand substantial time investments

The latest PLAXIS techs and functionalities offer a transformative solution, automating the pain points above in tunnel engineering and thereby yielding designs that are optimized, cost-effective, and fully functional.

Join our expert, Richard Witasse and Martin Cahn (Terrasol) in a live webinar as they will delve into enhancing your modelling capabilities with PLAXIS along with presenting a practical case related to the Retro-analysis of a monitored tunnel section on mixed limestone/plastic clay front conditions.

Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to discover the power of PLAXIS in unlocking new dimensions of possibilities in tunnel engineering and elevating your Tunnel modelling skills.

In this Webinar you will learn:

  • Main PLAXIS tunneling features (Tunnel designer, TBM, NATM, constitutive models, soil/rock reinforcement)
  • Dealing with mixed conditions at excavation font
  • Speeding up analysis techniques (equivalent 2D, one step 3D analyses)
