摘 要:In the present work,important aspects of time-dependent nonlinear 3D finite element(FE)models for deep tunnel advance by the New Austrian Tunneling Method(NATM),characterized by repeated sequences of excavation,securing,and idle periods,are discussed on the example of a 3D finite element model of a stretch of the Brenner Base Tunnel,which is currently constructed between Austria and *** material models are utilized for representing the surrounding rock mass and the shotcrete *** on the finite element model,strategies for the efficient implementation into a parallel distributed memory numerical code are *** are essential to achieve reasonable computation times for numerical simulations of tunneling based on large 3D FE *** particular,the implementation of the construction procedure,parallel computing and communication specific details,and efficient linear solvers for the global equation system within the incremental-iterative Newton–Raphson scheme are ***,possible extensions of the material models for rock mass and shotcrete,used in the 3D FE model,are *** concern(i)a gradient-enhanced model for transversely isotropic rock and rock mass,taking into account hardening and softening behavior and(ii)the extension of the shotcrete model to nonlinear creep and damage due to *** possible benefits of the model extensions in numerical simulations of tunneling by the NATM are discussed.
