    What You'll Take Away

    A clear understanding of NATM philosophy and its implications in numerical modeling

    In-depth understanding of ground-structure interaction principles specific to tunnel excavation

    Evaluation of tunnel stability, convergence behavior, and support effectiveness

    Workflow optimization tips for accurate and efficient modeling in GTS NX modelling

    Description

    The New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) is a widely adopted approach that leverages the natural strength of the surrounding rock mass through controlled deformation and timely support. Accurately capturing the interaction between ground and support systems is essential to ensure safety and performance in complex geological settings.

    This webinar will demonstrate how 2D and 3D finite element simulations in GTS NX can effectively model the staged excavation, stress redistribution, and support installation central to NATM. Attendees will gain insights into realistic simulation workflows, and how ground-structure interaction influences tunnel behavior and design outcomes.

     

    Who Should Attend
