Ground Reaction Curve
Easy-to-use software for estimating deformation of circular excavations in weak rock. Given the tunnel radius, in-situ stress conditions, rock parameters and support parameters, a ground reaction curve and a support reaction curve are calculated. The intersection of these curves determines a factor of safety for the support system. Account for long term tunnel behaviour by applying a strength reduction factor to obtain a long-term Ground Reaction Curve.
Support Options
Install combinations of Rockbolts, Steelsets, Shotcrete, or Custom supports. Users can select from a library of predefined supports using manufacturer’s specifications. Define support installation as the distance from the tunnel face, by percentage of tunnel convergence or by tunnel displacement.
Deterministic or Probabilistic Analysis
Compute a factor of safety with deterministic analysis or probability of failure for probabilistic models using convergence-confinement analysis. Model variability in tunnel radius, in-situ stress, and rock material properties by assigning statistical distributions to variables. Create histogram, cumulative, and scatter plots of statistical data.
RocPlane RocSupport
RocSupport is a quick and simple to use program for estimating the deformation of circular tunnels in weak rock, and visualizing the tunnel interaction with various support systems.
The analysis method used in RocSupport is often referred to as “rock support interaction” or “convergence-confinement” analysis. This analysis method is based on the concept of a “ground reaction curve” or “characteristic line”, obtained from the analytical solution for a circular tunnel in an elasto-plastic rock mass under
a hydrostatic stress field.
