Modeling Procedure
Step 1 Create a circular tunnel. The geometry is symmetric about the tunnel center,
permitting half the tunnel to be modeled. Assign the Mohr-Coulomb material
model and properties for the rock.
Step 2 Set boundary and initial stress conditions. The site is dewatered and initially
unsaturated. Calculate the initial equilibrium stress state. (Stage 1)
Step 3 Excavate the tunnel to produce closure corresponding to 30% relaxation before
the shotcrete liner is installed. (Stage 2)
Step 4 Install the shotcrete liner and advance the tunnel to produce 100% relaxation.
(Stage 3)
Step 5 Install the concrete liner with a 1 cm gap. (Stage 4)
Step 6 Stop dewatering and allow water level to return to original level. Water exerts
a pressure in the gap between the two liners. (Stage 5)
Step 7 Delete the shotcrete liner, simulating degrading of the shotcrete. (Stage 6)

Step 7-2 Enter the [In Situ]/[Apply] tool and select [Stress]/[pressure]. Drag the mouse along the tunnel periphery and the press [Assign]. When
the Apply value dialog opens, enter the pressure = 660000 Pa., and y-variation = -120000.

Step 7-3 Enter the [Fish editor] pane and open FISH function apply_gap_press.fis. Execute the function and assign y_wtab = 60, tuncen_x = 0.0
and tuncen_y = 0.0. Press [OK] and return to the [Record] pane.

Step 8-1 Enter the [Structure]/[Segments] tool. Check [Delete] and delete the shotcrete structural element segments. Be careful to not delete
the concrete liner segments.
