Overview: The Dublin Port Tunnel in Ireland runs from the M1 motorway at Santry to Dublin Port at East Wall. Its primary purpose is to provide good access to Dublin Port, as well as relieving traffic congestion in the city. To provide access for the tunnel boring machines (TBM) for this section of the route a 60m diameter, 32m deep shaft with 1.5m thick in-situ concrete diaphragm walls needed to be constructed. To assess the manner in which the stress re-distribution takes place around the openings and to investigate the potential internal strengthening options Haswell Consulting Engineers used LUSAS Civil & Structural analysis software.
