Design and analysis of Gota Tunnel (Götatunneln) Detailed 3D modelling of large concrete box tunnel structure Creation of customised scripts for results processing Smart load combinations and slice sectioning of model Skanska Teknik AB, of Sweden, used LUSAS Civil & Structural to help analyse and design a 128m long, reinforced concrete section of tunnel which carries road 45 beneath the city of Gothenburg. Customised scripts were developed by LUSAS Consultancy Services for speci?c use on the project to automate the results processing operations, produce graphs and screen plots, and output results data for spreadsheet calculations of reinforcementquantities using Skanska Teknik AB’s own in-house software.
