Plaxis Showcase - Construction of a branch tunnel

This movie demonstrates a more complex project modeled and calculated in PLAXIS 3D. The construction of a branch tunnel connecting to a main tunnel is modelled and calculated in PLAXIS 3D. Large tunnels in soft rock or hard soil are now often constructed using full face excavation associated with ground reinforcements. Such works induce complex interactions between the soil, the reinforcements and existing structures, which are difficult to model precisely. In order to improve the understanding of ground r
