The objective of this training session is to provide an introduction to Numerical Simulation in Tunnelling. The seminar will provide a general overview of the different calculation methods, outlining the use, advantages and difficulties of numerical simulation, to be followed with more in-depth sessions on the numerical models and the associated parameters. Finally, examples of application will be given.
The first 2 days are aimed at professionals in tunnelling with prior knowledge in geomechanics.
An optional third day is available giving technical details and practical advice when performing a numerical simulation. This third day is dedicated to engineers who conduct numerical simulation. This course takes a more in-depth look into Numerical Simulation compared to the section on this issue proposed in the course entitled “Calculation methods for Tunnel Design”.
