Tunneling simulation with Abaqus

[@shubhankitprateek3798]

In predefined Field 21:21 Vertical coordinator will be= -60 you take -1 And the stress magnitude 2 = -1750*9.81*60 But you take = - 1750*9.81*1 Can you explain why you take 1 ?

[@farzanehabedini5723]

I think when you were defining the tie between surfaces, you chose Magneta for the edge of the surface, but I assume that Magneta arrowhead is the inner side. I am a little confused about this. would you please explain it a little?

Thanks for sharing Really helpful

Hi, thank you for your video. I am modeling a similar geometry, but I receive a warning that says: for 32 beam elements either the average curvature about the local 1-direction differs by more than 0.1 degrees per unit length as compared to the default curvature or the approximate integrated curvature for the entire beam differs by more than 5 degrees as compared to the approximate integrated default curvature. this may be due to a user-specified normal or due to the nodal averaging routine used by Abaqus. this difference may cause unexpected behavior of the beam and you may want to verify that the beam normals are correct for your problem. the elements have been identified in element set warnbeamcurvature1. I split the curved part into smaller portions, but I still have this warning. Does it affect the results?

Thank you so much for the video.It is very helpful.But i have a little problem when i change the section material,which is the step that you said in 25:08 . The calculate was aborted and shows "Too many attempts made for this increment".Could you help me about it ? I really appreciate it.

[@CivilSkill]

Thanks, I just got back to property module and edit soil section. There are a lot of reasons for "too many attempts" error, It should be checked(the meshing, defining soil properties, boundary condition etc..

[@skw183]

Thank you! Great Video!! I have been looking for this technique for awhile! Do you also know how to add pore pressure effects?

[@CivilSkill]

Thanks for your feedback. In the video of pile modeling in this channel, the effects of pore pressure is considered. 1.soil property>>define permeability 2.boundry condition>>define boundry of drainage 3.predifiend field>> define initial void ratio

amazing brother be sfe and take your health brother can you one video abaqus with mechine learing and python

Could you show me how to do tunnel modelling under seismic loading?

[@CivilSkill]

Actually I haven't done seismic modeling. But in the future I will work in this field and record video

[@manishayadav5351]

@@CivilSkill ok can you post a video for rectangular tunnel modelling? Your mail id if any?

[@nimaf9667]

Thank you so much for the video. It is very helpful. Would you please tell me how i can simulate 2% volume loss during construction. Or, would you please name any materials related to tunnel construction simulation considering volume loss? How about other methods - Load reduction, DCM, etc.? Thank you in advance

[@suryaramesan788]

Is that the resulting contour a time dependent variation or depthwise variation

[@foziatabasum6755]

Hi can you please explain the boundary conditions if earthquake load is applied on this model.i kept the base fixed and am applying hz earthquake load on the left edge but i am confused about the boundary conditions for right edge

[@CivilSkill]

@Fauzia Wani Hi I didn't work on earthquack load.

[@alaaahmed3733]

Hello Please I want to ask about something if possible I want to consider the existing of groundwater table in the simulation. How can I do that?

[@CivilSkill]

Do the following: 1. Enter density of saturated soil in material property 2 .you must use soils step instead of static general and customize pore pressure outputs in field output. 3. In load module define zero pore pressure for desired water table in the initial step. 4. At the end, from mesh module assign pore fluid/stress to the soil in element type. I hope it's helpful

[@alaaahmed3733]

Thank you very much

[@alaaahmed3733]

When I have a groundwater at the ground surface why I have to set the initial pore pressure equals to zero since the soil is seems fully saturated ?

[@CivilSkill]

​@@alaaahmed3733Ok, I got it wrong with pile simulation and here we don't need define zero pore pressure. usually it will be used to define drainage boundary for drained or undrained conditions. thanks for your reminder.

[@alaaahmed3733]

Thank you for you. So in this case we just need to put the value of pore pressure for the desired depth. Am I right?

[@hassanayaz6242]

Thanks you for useful to me

[@alaaahmed3733]

Can you please explain how we can check the max.stress analytically?

[@CivilSkill]

You should look for the equations for calculating the stresses created in the soil due to tunneling in references and articles.

[@alaaahmed3733]

Hello. Can we use the stiffness reduction method in 3D numerical simulation?

[@CivilSkill]

Hello Alaa Why not, In the longitudinal direction, divide the tunnel into several sections. In each section, you first reduce the stiffness for the soil elements inside the tunnel, then add the lining, finally remove all the elements inside the tunnel.
