Abstract

This article consists in establishing a geotechnical stability study of the -4m/zh quay belonging to the Ksar Sghir Port. First of all, using the TALREN software for verification against large slips. the study presents a verification of the stability for the rear slope slip circles and for the front slope slip circles in the static case. Secondly, stability was determined for the back slope slip circles and for the front slope slip circles in the seismic case.  Moreover, PLAXIS software was used to model the displacements and constraints in the structure. Following the results of the safety coefficients, we notice that the stability of the structure gives acceptable values. In addition, the soil does not reach breaking stress. The total mean stress and total displacement mostly impacted the surface area that is related to external impact.

Abstract

This study evaluates the stability of a twin-tube tunnel through a combined approach of rock mass classification, numerical modeling, and real-time deformation monitoring. The rock mass along the tunnel alignment was characterized using the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system, incorporating physical, geological, and geotechnical data from the project site. Support systems were designed for each geotechnical unit based on RMR and the Q-system support chart. Field monitoring was conducted over one year using a Leica TS09 tachometer and 3D displacement monitoring targets installed at the top heading and invert/bench, with data processed via Amberg Tunnel 2.0 software. Complementing the field measurements, 2D numerical analyses were performed to assess the left portal slope stability (Slide 6.0 software) and provisional support behavior (Phase2 2D program). The numerical results were validated against in-situ monitoring data, demonstrating strong agreement. The study confirms effective rock mass deformation control and satisfactory confinement stability, highlighting the reliability of the integrated methodology for tunnel stability assessment.
