This document discusses a study on the effect of soil type on rectangular tunnels. A finite element analysis was conducted to analyze the structural behavior of a typical underground metro station subject to various soil types. The analysis considered different soil subgrade reactions to model soil-structure interaction. Both 3D shell element modeling and 2D plane frame modeling were used and results were compared. The study found that soil type significantly impacts bending moments in the bottom slab, with variations of 50-70% between soil types under some load cases. Loose sand produced the lowest bending moments while clay soils produced the highest.

Three dimensional finite element modeling of pervious concrete pavementeSAT Journals
Abstract Pervious concrete has the unique characteristic of allowing water to pass through its porous matrix. . Pervious concrete pavement systems usually have three main layers, pervious concrete on the top, a subbase layer of aggregate for water storage in the middle and the subgrade (soil) layer below. Finite element modeling of this novel material is challenging due to its complex porous characteristics. In this paper, a method has been proposed to model pervious concrete pavement using finite element methods, which includes a modified approach to capture the unique vertical porosity distribution in the pervious concrete layer by averaging the distribution in three distinct vertical sections. The mechanical properties of the pervious concrete layer are assumed to vary along its depth since the porosity of the pervious concrete also varies with depth. ABAQUS, a general-purpose finite element software package was used to develop the model and perform the analysis. The model was validated through a convergence study, and in comparison with the analytical theory of tensile stress and deflection for traditional concrete pavement. In addition, the significance of the porosity distribution model was validated by comparing the results from EverFE – a specific software for pavement structure analysis. It was found that there is significant difference in tensile stress if modeled using the modified vertical porosity distribution in the previous concrete layer to more fully capture its vertical porosity distribution, as compared to an averaged porosity model in the previous concrete layer. It was also noted that compressive stress demand may have increased importance for pervious concrete, but only for highly porous applications which are not commonly used.

Performance based analysis of rc building consisting shear wall and varying i...Yousuf Dinar
Abstract:
Metropolitan cities are under severe threat because of inappropriate design and construction of structures. Faulty building designed without considering seismic consideration could be vulnerable to damage even under low levels of ground shaking from distant earthquake. So, structural engineers often are more concerned about the constructing Shear wall without knowing its performance with respect to infill percentage which may lead it to an over design state without knowing the demand. Nonlinear inelastic pushover analysis provides a better view about the behavior of the structures during seismic events. This study investigates as well as compares the performances of bare, different infill percentage level and two types of Shear wall consisting building structures and suggests from which level of performance shear wall should be preferred over the infill structure. To perform the finite element simulation ETABS 9.7.2 is used to get the output using pushover analysis. For different loading conditions, the performances of structures are evaluated with the help of base shear, deflection, storey drift, storey drift ratio and stages of number of hinges form and represented with discussion.
Study on Soil-Foundation Interaction under a Bridge Pierijtsrd
This study focuses on the behaviour of soil-foundation interaction under a bridge pier. In 2016, August 25, a magnitude of 6.8 happened near Bagan region. Pakokku Bridge, the longest of the bridges over the Irrawaddy, is situated on 37.8 miles from the epicentre of 2016 Chauk earthquake. That is why the safety performance of long-span Bridge especially for the safety of the foundation system subjected to soil-foundation interaction is necessary to investigate for static and seismic excitation. So, study on the behaviour of soil-foundation interaction under Bridge pier in static condition is presented in this study. Firstly super structural loadings on the pile cap are estimated by using STAAD PRO V8i. And then, theoretical ultimate soil resistance pcr and pcd due to wedge and flow failure are determined to produce critical depth xcr. Based on the value of critical depth, p-y curves are generated by Reese 1974 method for the static condition. After that, finite element software ABAQUS is used for the analysis of soil-foundation interaction under a bridge pier. In this study, the behaviour of soil-foundation interaction such as deflections, settlements, shear stresses and shear strains are produced. According to the analysis results, it is found that the vertical and horizontal displacements at the pile tip are 1.27mm and 4.68mm respectively. Maximum shear stress and strain are found out the base of the pile cap. Finally it is found that the soil-foundation interaction under a bridge pier presented in this study is reliable and reasonable with the limitation of AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges.

Comparative Analysis of Frames with Varying InertiaIJERA Editor
This paper presents an elastic seismic response of reinforced concrete frames with 3 variations of heights, i.e. (G+2), (G+4), (G+6) storey models are compared for bare frame and frame with brick infill structures which have been analyzed for gravity as well as seismic forces and their response is studied as the geometric parameters varying from view point of predicting behavior of similar structures subjected to similar loads or load combinations. In this study, two different cases are selected i.e. frames with prismatic members and frames with non-prismatic members. The structural response of various members when geometry changes physically, as in case of linear and parabolic haunches provided beyond the face of columns at beam column joints or step variations as in case of stepped haunches was also studied. Frames have been analyzed statically as well as dynamically using ETABS-9.7.4 software referring IS: 456-2000, IS: 1893 (Part-1)2002 and the results so obtained are grouped into various categories.

Dynamic Analysis of Multi-Storeyed Frame-Shear Wall Building Considering SSIIJERA Editor
The structural system of a high-rise building often has a more pronounced effect than a low rise building on the
total building cost and the architecture aspect of building. Shear walls are lateral load resisting structural
systems which provide stability to structures from lateral loads like wind and seismic Loads. The design of multi
storey building is to have good lateral load resisting System along with gravity load system for safety of
occupant and for better performance of structure even in most adverse condition. The main scope of this project
is to apply class room knowledge in the real world by designing a multi-storied residential building. Shear walls
are more efficient in resisting lateral loads in multi storied buildings. Steel and reinforced concrete shear walls
are kept in major positions of multi storied buildings which are made in consideration of seismic forces and
wind forces. To solve this purpose shear walls are a very powerful structural elements, if used judiciously can
reduce deflections and stresses to a very great extent. Our project contains a brief description of building with
shear wall and without shear wall thoroughly discussed structural analysis of a building to explain the
application of shear wall. The design analysis of the multi storied building in our project is done through
STAAD-PRO, most popular structural engineering software. It is featured with some ultimate power tool,
analysis and design facilities which make it more users friendly.
Effect of soil structure interaction on high rise r.c regular frame structur...eSAT Journals
Abstract Reinforced concrete building structure consist of horizontal member (beam & slab) and vertical members (columns & walls), and supported by foundation. The structure is subjected to loads of self-weight, live load, wind load and earthquake load etc. The structural strength of slab and the brick walls is not normally considered in the analysis of the structure Generally the foundation support is assumed as either hinged or fixed support, while foundations transmit the load to the soil medium which undergoes a settlement (vertical) depending on the loads from the structure and characteristics of the soil medium, causing the additional forces in structure. However, this effect is normally neglected in the structural analysis due to its complicated analysis. An attempt is made to analyze the structure considering the foundation soil settlement as define like soil medium by spring. The structure is analyzed for various seismic zones of India. (II, III, IV,&V), sub grade modulus of soil (Gs) from 12000kN/m3 to 60,000kN/m3.The results of the above analysis are used to study the effect of soil – structure interaction on horizontal displacement ‘훿x’ at each floor, and vertical displacement ‘훿y’ at the supports of a building. From the study, it is observed that the maximum percentage of variation in x- trans is 337 percentage with respect to fixed support condition at sub grade modulus of 12,000 kN /m2/m at seismic zone V and the maximum percentage of variation in y- trans is 1420 percentage with respect to fixed support at sub grade modulus 12,000 kN/m2/m at seismic zone V. From pilot study, concluded that effect of soil – structure interaction has to consider especially for lower sub grade modulus of soil at higher seismic intensities.

Determination of load transfer in reinforced concrete solid slabs by finite e...IOSR Journals
According to the ACI building code, the concrete slab can be divided into two types depending on
the ratio of the long side to the short side. Regarding the results of the ratio, the concrete slab can be divided as
one-way and two-way slabs. The main objective of this paper is to study the stress or moments distribution in
solid slab panel in its two directions and compare with ACI code assumption that the load is transferred mainly
in short direction and most of the load is transferred in one direction only if the ratio of the longer span to the
shorter span is greater than one. This will be discussed by analyzing one panel of solid slab using the computer
software SAP2000. Two types of panels will be used; the first one a panel that is supported simply on its four
sides and the second panel is supported only by four pin supports and beams. This paper shows that the gravity
load on the slab is transferred to long and short direction. This means that one-way concrete solid slab doesn't
exist and all concrete solid slabs work as a two-way concrete slab.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract— Rectangular tunnel is consisting of top, bottom and
two vertical side walls built monolithically which forms the
square or rectangular single cell. These structures are mainly
used as underground tanks, subways, highway underpasses and
culverts. The box structure is highly indeterminate structure
which is having continues support as directly rests on soil. Hence
to understand its true behavior, soil structure interaction should
take into account. This paper presents the finite element results
of parametric investigation of typical underground metro subway
station subject to various soil types by considering appropriate
soil subgrade reaction. The finite element method was used to
analyze the structural behavior of typical metro subway station
under different loading conditions using SAP 2000. And the
structure was modeled using SHELL element and the LINE
element and results obtained from the 3D analysis using SHELL
element and the plane frame analysis using BEAM or LINE
element were compared. Also study is carried out for various soil
types by considering appropriate soil subgrade reaction to know
the effect of type of soil on bending moment. The study reveals
that the bottom slab is the element which is severely affected and
variation of bending moment in bottom slab is in the range of
50% to 70%, in some other load cases the bending moment also
changes the sign.

I. INTRODUCTION
With the acceleration of INDIA‟s rapid economic
development and urbanization, city size continues to expand
and traffic congestion is becoming increasingly prominent. As
an effective way to solve this problem, rail transit and public
transit system represented by subways has received great
attention and more and more cities are under construction or
planning of subways. Design of underground stations in
developed urban environments requires detailed understanding
and consideration of the analysis type, site conditions,
constructability and construction sequencing as part of the
design process in order to produce appropriate design
solutions. A rectangular box structure mainly consists of two
horizontal and two vertical slabs constructed monolithically are
ideally suited for a road or railway transportation. These
structures are economical due to their rigidity and monolithic
action and separate foundation are not required since the
bottom slab resting directly on the soil serves as raft slab.This
makes structure is highly indeterminate structure which is
having continues support as directly rests on soil. Although the
functional requirements of these structures may not vary
greatly, the unique site conditions at each location can lead to
very different solutions. Dimensions of boxtype tunnels are in
general greater than those of box culverts resulting in much
thicker walls and slabs for the boxframe. Hence to understand
its true behaviour the main parameters which influence
structural behaviour are varied and the results are studied.
Structural behaviour of underground rectangular metro station
box is analysed under different loading conditions using FEM
tool SAP2000.Results obtained from plane frame analysis is
compared with 3D analysis results obtained by using SHELL
element. Study is carried out related to variation in bending
moment for different types of soil that usually encountered at
site
II. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
A. Load cases considered
• The loading include the
1. Self-weight
2. Soil back fill over the structure
3. Live load
4. Lateral static earth pressure due to saturated soil (Ko)
5. Lateral active earth pressure due to saturated soil (Ka)
6. Lateral Hydrostatic pressure when is at ground water
level is at ground level
7. Vertical Uplift pressure when ground water level is at
Ground level
8. Lateral Seismic Earth pressure due to saturated soil.
B. Load Calculations
1. Self-weight
The self-weight of the structure is calculated in
SAP2000 by defining load patterns.
2. Soil Overburden Load
2. International Journal of Mechanical Civil and Control Engineering
Vol. 1, Issue. 3, June 2015 ISSN (Online): 2394-8868
37
The weight of the backfill on top of the boxstructure,
assumed to be of equivalent bulk density as the
existing ground, typically g = 21 kN/m3 under
saturated conditions.
3. Earth pressure
i. Coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest is
calculated by Rankine earth pressure co efficient for
soil at rest KO= 1-SIN (Ø).
ii. Coefficient of lateral earth pressure during active
stage is calculated by Coulomb's theory.
4. Train live load
The train live loads are considered as per standard
train loading for the Metro corridor (IRC:6-2000 Code
gives formula to impact factor). Impact factor, I, is
calculated as per Indian Railway Standard Code (Refer
clause 2.4.1.1.a).
5. Seismic loads
The IS: 1893-1984 (Clause 6.1.3) provide that box
culverts need not be designed for earthquake forces
Seismic loads are determined in accordance with work
carried out by Cetin Soydemir and presented in his
1991 paper "Seismic design of rigid underground walls
in New England" (Proceedings: Second international
conference on recent advances in geotechnical
earthquake engineering and soil dynamics, paper no.
4.6). This paper is a review and analysis of other
studies and concludes by presenting graphs for
estimating lateral earth pressures. The graph for the
situation where the length, L, from the structure to the
nearest obstruction, is greater than 1 (which is always
the case for this design), is shown below. The chain
line marked "Recommended" is used. The graph is
prepared for an area of moderate seismicity, with a
design acceleration of 0.12g. It has the depth of the
structure, as a proportion of the height, H, on the Y
axis, and the ratio of horizontal to vertical pressure
(sx/gH) along the X axis. It can be seen that the
pressure ratio has a value of 0.12 above a depth of
0.5H, and reduces linearly from this value to half this
value at the base of the structure.
An additional load to represent the seismic
component of the water pressure on the wall is
calculated using the theory of Westergaard, which
gives an approximate distribution of load as a parabola
with the horizontal pressure at respective depth.

6. Modulus of subgrade reaction
The modulus of subgrade reaction is a conceptual
relationship betweensoilpressure and deflection that is
widely used in the structural analysis of foundation
members like continues footings,mat orraft foundations
etc. The modulus of subgrade reaction is the ratio of
stress to deformation. Soil medium is modeled linear
springs and their stiffness is obtained modulus of
subgradereaction obtained fromTable 9-1 Bowles, J.E.
(1977) „„Foundation Analysis and Design.‟‟

III. COMPARISION OF 3D AND PLANE FRAME MODEL
Many models are available to determine live a dead
load demands for underground structures load rating
problems. Determining which of the models to use can be a
daunting and difficult task. Being these structures are having
larger dimensions in the longitudinal direction the basic
assumption in analysis of the box structures is the
displacement and forces are uniform in the longitudinal
direction of the culvert. This assumption holds true for certain
type of loadings than others. For example soil loading applied
to the surface or pavement maybe considered as uniformin the
longitudinal direction. Solution therefore is independent of
one of the three orthogonal axes and can be formulated in
remaining two axes. Thus problem can be treated as two
dimensional.
But the spread of live load with depth is inherently a 3D
problem. Hence an attempt is made to compare the analysis
using BEAM element and SHELL element using FEA
package SAP 2000.Same modeling procedure is followed and
a conventional rectangular box structure of 10m width and 5m
height and unit length was considered.
Frame Models
Several modelling programs are available to analyse of
underground structures. The simplest of these are two
dimensional frame models. Two dimensional frame models
have many advantages. They are simple to construct with
often fewer than a dozen nodes; some even construct the
model automatically from a few culvert geometry properties.
Their structural stiffness matrices are smaller and therefore
require less computation time and introduce fewer errors.
They can deal with the behaviour of reinforced concrete by
using beam elements with Transformed moments of inertia.
The beam elements themselves are built around a proven and
well understood mechanics of materials model.
Finite Element Models
Underground structures load rating literature indicates that the
finite element analysis (FEA) method offers superior
capabilities for predicting box structures and soil-structures
behaviour. Finite element Codes allow for “modelling
phenomena not described by the underground structures
specific codes” and for graphical investigations of the results
(Duane, Robinson, & Moore, 1986). The most popular soil
models can be integrated in the FEA code. Such models
include linear elastic models, elasto-plastic with Mohr-
Coulomb failure, soil hardening with stress dependent
stiffness and Mohr-Coulomb failure, Hardin, Duncan, and
bilinear. Duncan is the most popular (Kim &Yoo, 2005;
Kitane & McGrath, 2006). Though it is clear that FEA is the
analytical tool of choice for analysing underground structures,
the particular implementation of FEA must be determined.

Observations

Side wall using SHELL and BEAM element in SAP 2000.
Fig. 5, Maximum en moments in Top slab,Bottom slab and
Side wall using SHELL and BEAM element in SAP 2000.
Inference
From the above observations it is clear that
1. The spread of live load with depth is inherently a 3D
problem and use of 2D frame model proves to be more
conservative and overestimate the end joint moments
ignoring the spread of live load on the wall surface.
2. The 3D model using shellelement considers the spread
of area loads even in the direction of 3-axis and results
in higher wall moments at center of wall.
3. High estimated moments at the end corner of beam
results in more ductile joints which are one of key
parameter to special joints design which is highly
necessary of stability of these type structures.
4. The two dimensional frame models are simple models
and very easy to analyze for static loading conditions.
5. And produce the very conservative results and very
adoptable for design purposes.
IV. PARAMETRIC STUDY
The parametric study concentrate on variation of bending
moment in a typical underground rectangular metro station box
on various soil types by considering appropriate soil subgrade
reaction.
The station box has outer dimension of 22m x15m and
having concourse slab at 8m center to from the base slab and
with a toe projection of 1m in bottomslab.
The same load cases and same method of FEM analysis is
used for the load calculations, modelling and analysis.
Soil cases considered and their Modulus of Subgrade
Reaction for vertical stiffness is listed below.

Medium dense sand 80000

Sectional Properties and Material Properties
• Material property defined as Isotropic and Grade of
concrete is M40.
Depth of
Base slab is 1.4m
Concourse slab is 0.7m
Top slab is 1m and
Wall thickness is 1.2m
RESULTS
Fig. 6, Shows variation of Bending moments in Bottom slab
and Top slab with respect to Modulus of subgrade reaction.
Observations
o With increase in value of modulus of subgrade
reaction values of bending moment in al structural
members decreases.
o Values of bending moment‟s changes significantly in
bottom slab and negligible in top slab and side walls
as the values of modulus of sub grade reaction
changes from lower values to higher values.
o Bending moments of bottom slab are affected more
as bottom slab directly lay on soil without any
additional foundation.
v. Conclusion
1. The Two-dimensional frame models produces very
conservative Bending Moment results especially in the
bottom slab which in turn produces conservative
design of joints and base slab.
2. The 3D model using shellelement considers the spread
of area loads even in the direction of 3-axis and results
in higher wall moments at centre of wall.
3. From the graph shown above it is evident that the
positive bending moment (tension in bottom) in bottom
slab goes on decreasing as the value of modulus of
subgrade reaction increases and for higher values of
modulus of subgrade reactions bending moments may
results as for non-yielding supports.
4. Above problem being soil structure interaction
problem the variation of bending moments in top slab
and side walls are in small magnitude and bottomslab
plays critical role in design of underground rectangular
structures. Due attention should to bottom slab while
considering soil structure interaction.
5. While considering the seismic loading for underground
structures Underground structures suffer minor damage
from earthquakes compared to aboveground structures.
Deep tunnels are safer compared to shallow tunnels.So
for moderate seismic region the effect of earthquake is
not critical but in sever seismic region it plays critical
role.
