DESIGN TUNNELS WITH BENTLEY STAAD PRO SOFTWARE- Analyze and design metro, highway and railway tunnels using STAAD. Tunnels require careful coordination across many disciplines and sectors of infrastructure, including geotechnical, structural, underground utilities, roads and highways, and drainage. Engineers like you need to account for several different categories of loads including soil weight and lateral pressure, hydrostatic, moving and vibratory loads from vehicles and trains, and earthquakes. The variation of soil properties and ground profile along the length of the tunnel make the problem inherently three-dimensional. Further, varying construction methods and construction sequencing require careful analysis of many different structural conditions and loading states. With STAAD you can- • Model and analyze tunnel structures, including concrete linings, using plates and solid entities. • Use nonlinear springs to model the soil support accounting for nonlinear soil properties. • Automate the application of hydrostatic and soil pressure loads with purpose-built capabilities. • Model the interface between the tunnel and structures, such as stations, buildings, and more. • Streamline multi-discipline workflows with Bentley’s unique interoperability across the broadest range of applications.
