Abstract:This work presents a study on the compatibilization of the lining load results between continuous ground mass and bedded beam models for tunnel design, through the calibration of the loads imposed to the bedded beam models. A review on compatibilization premises and the computation of “ideal” compatibilization loads, which yield identical results between model hierarchies is presented. A case study was developed, illustrating that even with significant simplification of the calibrated loads, if they bear magni… Show more
