Modeling Procedure
Step 1 Generate model grid and assign material models and properties and
boundary conditions to represent the in-situ conditions.
Step 2 Determine the initial in-situ stress state of the ground prior to construction.
Step 3 Perform an unsupported tunnel excavaation calculation to develop a ground
reaction curve for the given conditions.

relaxation of the tunnel load (construction step a).
Step 4b Install the shotcrete support after 75% relaxation of the tunnel load
(construction step b).
Step 4c Relax the tunnel load 100% for complete excavation of the right-side
(construction step c).
Step 5a-c Repeat construction steps a, b and c for excavation of the left side.
Step 6a-c Repeat construction steps a, b and c for excavation of the top heading.
Step 7a-c Repeat construction steps a, b and c for excavation of the bench.

35
Step 3-3 Create a ground reaction table. FISH function closure.fis is used to calculate tunnel closure. Closure, closure, is defined here by the sum
of the vertical displacement at the tunnel crown (at i=39,j=53) plus the invert (at i=39, j=21). Horizontal closure, closure_side, is also monitored as
horizontal displacement at the left side (at i=21,j=37) plus the right side (at i=57, j=37).

37
Step 3-5 The ground reaction table is generated using the [In Situ/[Apply] tool. Select [Relax] and [Long] and drag the mouse along the tunnel
boundary. Then, press [Assign] to open the Apply relax dialog. The boundary tractions will be reduced in 10 increments until reaching an end
factor of 0.2 (i.e., 80% relaxation). The vertical closure versus tunnel relaxation is recorded to table 1 by checking the [Generate Ground Reaction
Table] box, and entering Table No. 1. The horizontal closure versus tunnel relaxation is recorded to table 2.

39
Step 3-7 Plot the table of relaxation factor vs vertical closure. (Note that relaxation factor is the ratio of current tunnel traction to the initial
tunnel traction.) Rockbolts will be installed at tunnel advance corresponding to 1.2 cm vertical closure (50% relaxation), and liner will be installed
at tunnel advance corresponding to 2.8 cm vertical closure (75% relaxation). Save the state as ms3.sav.

42
Step 4-3 Return to the [In Situ]\[Apply] tool and select [Relax] and [Long]. Drag the mouse around the tunnel side boundary. Press [Assign] to
