Reinforced Concrete Tunnel
Reinforced concrete
tunnel of road M-
111 running underneath
Madrid Barajas airport.
Several 2D/3D models
of the soil-structure
interaction was
conducted, as well as
the dimensioning of the
reinforcement needed in
the tunnel for the
different zones and
loads from tunnel
backfilled.
