Hey readers… we always come across some or the other type of tunnel, be it city metro lines, railway or roadways tunnels, but what keeps the tunnel standing intact during its operational life is its support system. Tunnel linings, temporary, primary or permanent, constitute the support system of the tunnel or shaft. In my previous article ‘Guidelines for Tunnel Design’, I had presented some basic design considerations and highlighted Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO) specifications for tunnel design. Now in this article, we would proceed further towards understanding tunnel support system and what could be the essential considerations for the design of tunnel linings.

A girder bridge is one of the most common types of bridge design. Prestressing a composite girder in the negative moment region increases its stiffness by preventing cracking of concrete under service loads. In this webinar, we share the design practices of girder span bridges in Sarawak and show which functions of midas Civil can be utilized for the effective modeling of this type of structure.
