Tunnels were required in building zones as a result of the growth and expansion of large cities. Tunnels are an important component of today's construction area. They are significant in terms of infrastructure and economy. Djelfa tunnel with a length of 800 m was excavated based on the geotechnical, geological, and geometrical requirements of the region. The tunnel is modeled in this study. The settlement caused by excavation is calculated using the numerical finite element methods (OptumG2). According to the numerical modeling of this research, the results show that the value of a settlement, in this case, are agree with the safety and stability of the Djelfa Tunnel.

Abstract


Tunnels were required in building zones as a result of the growth and expansion of large cities. Tunnels are an important component of today's construction area. They are significant in terms of infrastructure and economy. Djelfa tunnel with a length of 800 m was excavated based on the geotechnical, geological, and geometrical requirements of the region. The tunnel is modeled in this study. The settlement caused by excavation is calculated using the numerical finite element methods (OptumG2). According to the numerical modeling of this research, the results show that the value of a settlement, in this case, are agree with the safety and stability of the Djelfa Tunnel.
