Week 9 Tunnelling & TBM Course: Numerical Modelling (Part 1)

Week 9 (17th March to 21st March) of the Tunnelling and TBM course in Politecnico di Torino was completely dedicated to the Numerical Modelling (basics and practical example in commercially available softwares). We had a chance to simulate Tunnel excavation sequence in Phase² software and compare results with Plaxis Software. Ms. Vincenza Floria from Geodata assisted us in Numerical modelling and clarified our practical difficulties. I intend to blog more about the numerical analysis and software comparisons  (Plaxis with Phase²)in coming weeks.
