Abstract: This article presents the results from 13 plane strain, coupled consolidation, non‐linear finite element analyses of twin tunnel construction. There are two sets of analyses, the first models two tunnels running parallel ...

Abstract: The results from 30 nonlinear finite-element analyses of undrained deep excavation in stiff clay are used to support the use of a new displacement flexibility number in multipropped retaining wall design. The analyses ...

Abstract: In the finite-element analysis of soil-structure interaction problems, shell elements are important to model structural components such as tunnel linings or sheet pile walls. In this paper the development, implementation, ...
