Numerical Simulation for the Excavation in Tunnel Construction

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tunnel excavation is often done in underground engineering such as civil tunnel construction and mine excavation. The numerical simulation can output colorful results to interpret the tunnel excavation effect more easier. Among all the numerical simulation methods, fast lagrangian explicit finite difference code of continua (FLAC3D) is widely used to solve practical problems, especially in field of elasto-plastic characteristic and construction procedure. So in the present paper, 3 steps of excavations in a tunnel is modeled by FLAC3D to present the stress and displacement distribution, and give guidance for the real practice.
