Tunnel, FEAAbstract
Tunnels are typically built for transportation, such as roads, railways, or canals, but they can also be used for other purposes, such as mining, sewerage, or water supply. Tunnels allow us to travel safely and efficiently through difficult terrain, and they provide us with access to essential resources such as water and energy. The objective of current research is to evaluate the structural characteristics of tunnel structure under geo-mechanical loading conditions. The structural analysis of tunnel is conducted using techniques of FEA. The CAD modelling and FEA simulation of tunnel is conducted using ANSYS simulation package. The shear stress, normal stress and deformation data are generated. From the generated data, the critical regions are identified and the lateral zone of tunnel is one of them. This region is likely to induce damage in the form of crack.
