Simple Circular Tunnel Analysis in Weak Rock for Phone Devices
SimTunnel is designed to perform a quick and simple analysis on your phone device. SimTunnel is a simple to use program for estimating the deformation of circular tunnels in weak rock, and visualizing the tunnel interaction with various support systems. The Analysis method used in SimTunnel is based on concept of a Ground Reaction Curve (GRC), obtained from the analytical solution of a circular tunnel in an elastio-plastic rock mass under a hydrostatic stress field.

SimTunnel is very simple and easy to use.
There are two different solution methods in the program: Mohr-Coulomb and Hoek-Brown.
- The assist dialogs aarea available to help you pick suitable parameters (i.e. UCS, mi, D, GSI etc.).
The report button, allows the user to save the current model’s input and output information into two-page PDF file. The generated report file can be sent out via email.
SimTunnel determines FOS as the ratio of maximum support pressure to the support pressure required for equilibrium.
The Support Parameters dialog allows you to easily add support (i.e. Steel-Set, Shotcrete and Rockbolt) and define the support properties for the model.
The GRC is always displayed in the output page. If support has been added, then the support reaction curve is also displayed.
Both Metric and Imperial units are available.
