Aplicación de dos modelos de cálculo para el diseño de pantallas continuas en el metro de Madrid y análisis de sus desplazamientos

Abstract

This article presents the results from two design procedures performed on continuous diaphragm walls of the Madrid Metro. The first case is based on a soil reacting on a Winkler space and was implemented in RIDO; the second case is based on the Finite Element method and was implemented on PLAXIS. Site data was collected at the Metronorte line during the 2003-2007 Metro Extension Project in Madrid, and the results were compared to numerical predictions. This study validated the soil parameters proposed by R. Ortiz and C. Oteo (2003).
