Application:
Tunnel lining can be modelled as a beam in PLAXIS 2D and as a plate in PLAXIS 3D. By using this element, 3 types of deformations are taken into account: shear deformation, compression due to normal forces and obviously bending. This document describes an example that has been used to verify the shell elements in PLAXIS.
Used version:
- PLAXIS 2D - Version 2011
- PLAXIS 3D - Version 2012
