The proceedings of EURO:TUN 2017 provide an excellent overview of the current state of research and future
perspectives of numerical modeling and computational
technologies in tunneling and subsurface engineering. In
particular, the following topics are addressed:
Numerical assessment of the stability of tunnels and other underground openings
Computational simulation and monitoring in mechanized tunneling
Excavation and transport processes in mechanized tunneling
Numerical modeling and design of segmented tunnel linings
Numerical modeling in NATM tunneling
Tunneling induced settlement and damage
Constitutive modeling of soft soils
Numerical simulation in tunneling in hard rock
Back analysis and inverse problems
Modeling of tunnels subjected to dynamic and seismic loading, explosions and fire
Multiscale analysis in tunneling and subsurface engineering
Case studies
