Geotechnical underground engineering deals with the analysis and design of structures built below the ground surface, such as tunnels, shafts, basements, and underground stations. Due to the complex, nonlinear behavior of soils and rocks, and their interaction with underground structures, numerical analysis has become an indispensable tool in the modern geotechnical engineer’s toolkit.
Numerical analysis, particularly through Finite Element Method (FEM) tools like MIDAS GTS NX, plays a crucial role in modern geotechnical engineering. In the context of underground excavation and ground improvement, it provides deep insight into soil-structure interaction, helps predict potential failures, and supports optimized and safe designs.
Why numerical analysis is crucial ?
• Capturing Complex Soil-Structure Interaction• Simulation of Construction Stages
• Modeling Nonlinear and Anisotropic Ground Conditions
• Predicting Ground Movements and Settlements
• Analysis of Retaining Structures and complex geo-structural systems
• Safety and Stability Assessment
• Groundwater and Seepage Analysis
• Dynamic and Seismic Analysis
• Optimization and Risk Reduction
