Design of a Reinforced Concrete Double Chamber Box Tunnel
Using STAAD. Pro for design of Tunnel:-
Making Geometry for the Initial structural dimensions of the tunnel:-
Next Step Include defining the cross-section of the box which include wall thickness:- 3D view of the model of interior box with showing thickness of walls will be as:-
Next supports will be assigned to the design.
Next step is to define loads using Load Cases Details:-
a) Dead load b) Live loads c) Lateral earth pressure loads d) Buoyancy load Next We can run the analysis and Moment or deflection graphs can be obtained.
