Abstract
We present use and calibration of the Cap Yield (CY Soil) constitutive model in the alluvial soil unit known as Santiago Gravel (Gravas de Santiago) and its application in design of tunnels for Line 3 of Santiago’s Subway System. Numerical modeling makes it possible to determine stresses in tunnel linings and surface settlements. These results have been compared with monitoring measurements, showing a good fit of the constitutive model with results obtained.
