Request for guidance in modeling tunnels

Post by MahsaQ » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:13 am

Dear Sir or Madam:
I’m going to study seismic behavior of tunnels crossing faults.
Considering this study in soil medium, I need to model a shear zone created by shear waves during an earthquake and making a displacement and deformation along a tunnel.
I’m interested in using OpenSees software.But I don't know if it's possible to model tunnels, faults (shear zone) and to analyze their seismic response.
I would appreciate if you kindly guide me concerning capability of Opensees software in modeling and analyzing the seismic behavior of tunnels in fault locations.
Thank you very much in advance and with the best regards,

Best Regards,
