Umbrella canopy tubes in tunnel construction
March 19 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm AEST
Overview
This event explores umbrella canopy tubes as a pre-support solution for tunnelling in unfavourable ground conditions. Fundamental understanding of the structural mechanics of canopy supports will be developed through the investigation of overburden loading on tunnel boundaries, failure mechanisms of umbrella canopy tubes and ground material, and monitoring systems for tunnels. This theory will be applied to determine analytical solutions for simply loaded umbrella canopy tubes. From these findings, the performance of umbrella canopy tubes on a Project will be investigated to validate the analytical solutions and provide context to theory. Who should attend? This event is ideal for civil and geotechnical engineers, tunnelling specialists, and professionals involved in underground construction and infrastructure projects. It will also benefit those working in design, analysis, and monitoring of tunnel support systems, as well as anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of ground behaviour and structural mechanics in challenging conditions.
