Underground Powerhouse at Shallow Depth
Model notes: Three stage excavation of an underground powerhouse and associated excavations, at shallow depth, in a complex geological environment. When viewing the results in Interpreter, set Stage 2 as the reference stage in order to see the displacements induced by excavation.
Program features: Green lines (see Larger Image) are material boundaries, materials are shown as different colors. Four excavations appear near the bottom of the model.

Underground Powerhouse with Cast-in-place Concrete Arches
Model notes: Ten stage excavation of a large underground powerhouse and transformer cavern with cast-in-place concrete roof arches. The low deformation modulus of the rock mass, compared to that of the concrete, results in large deformations and overstressing of the concrete arch. Hoek-Brown material properties are defined to model the concrete.
Program features: Contours of vertical displacement. Dark blue lines are cable bolts. Light blue lines (see Larger Image) are cable bolts that will be installed at a later stage.

Complex Excavation, across Multiple Materials, with Cable Bolts
Model notes: Eight stage excavation of large underground powerhouse and transformer gallery in sedimentary rock. A zone of blast damaged rock around each excavation has been included in the model. The caverns are supported by means of tensioned cables. This model uses plain strand cable bolts, and shows Installation of bolts and liners in different stages.
Program features: Contours of strength factor. Green horizontal lines are material boundaries. Blue lines are cable bolts.

Complex Excavation, with Stage-dependent Material Properties
Model notes: Thirteen stage excavation of a large underground powerhouse at shallow depth. The cavern is supported by rockbolts and the lower half is backfilled with concrete after completion of the excavation to simulate the casting of machine foundations. The rockbolts are removed in the final stage to investigate the consequences of long- term corrosion.
Program features: Dark blue lines are bolts. Light blue lines (on the excavation boundary) are liners.

Model notes: Performed finite element slope stability analysis of tunnel portal using  reduction method. For details on the method read the document "Application of Finite element method to Slope Stability". Phase2 Results were compared to traditional limit equilibrium slope analysis with Slide.
Program features: Contours show maximum shear strain for predicted slope failure surface.
