In this paper, the modeling methods of tunneling and the surface subsidence induced by
that have been studied by using two-dimensional numerical analysis according to the FEM
method, assuming the green field condition، which means that there is no
load on the soil
surface above the tunnel. A FE study was conducted in which an elasto-plastic constitutive
model was adopted to model the soil behavior (HS, HSsmall).
This article includes a comparison between the results of numerical analysis and field
measurements to executed projects، and a suggested method for modeling tunnel
excavation and surface subsidence induced by that.
This research deals with analytical study of exterior Beam-Column
connections behavior under seismic load.
Tow parameters were considered: axial load on the column and
confinement of joint region with stirrups.
Ansys program was used to analytica
l study of three types of exterior
Beam-Column connections under cyclic load.
The results were shown a good agreement with general behavior of
three types.
The analytical results indicate that the tow parameters will improve
the behavior of the connections delay cracking at joint core and
increasing connection stiffness in rotation and displacement with
decreasing shear value at joint.
In this paper, ground surface settlement induced by tunneling have been studied
using 2D finite element analysis. By assuming greenfield conditions, which means that
there is no loads on the soil surface above the tunnel.
A FE study was conducted
in which an elasto-plastic constitutive model was adopted
to model the soil behavior (MC,HS).
This paper include Comparison between actual field measurements with (FEM)
results, and parametric study for the most factors that influence ground surface settlement.
