    Numerical Analysis of a Tunnel Support Design in Conjunction With Empirical Methods
    (Asce-amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2008) Sari, Yasin Dursun; Pasamehmetoglu, A. Gunhan; Cetiner, Erkan; Donmez, Senayi; Department of Civil Engineering; 15. Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences; 01. Atılım University
    In this paper, preliminary support design of a tunnel was analyzed by numerical and empirical approaches. The case study for this analysis is a tunnel to be constructed on the Bilecik-Istanbul roadway in Turkey. The rock mass properties of the tunnel route and design support recommendations were obtained by using an empirical approach. The rock mass properties obtained from the empirical method were used as input parameters for the numerical analysis. The empirical and numerical results, in terms of support design, were evaluated. It was seen that the numerical analysis results supported by empirical values were logical and reliable.
