Liner Overview
Liners in RS3 are 2-dimensional support elements which can be used to define:
- shotcrete, concrete, reinforced concrete or similar excavation support systems
- geosynthetic reinforcement for slope and embankment stability
Add Lining
Liners are added to the model using the Add Lining option.
Editing Liners
Options for editing liners include Edit or Delete Liner.
Liner Properties
Liner strength and stiffness properties are defined with the Define Liner Properties option. For purposes of defining properties, there are two main liner types:
Define Lining Composition
Composite liners with multiple layers can be defined with the Lining Composition option. The properties of individual liner layers are defined with the Define Liner properties option, while the Define Lining Composition option is used to define the order and staging of the liner layer components
Liner Theory
For information about the numerical implementation of liner support in RS3 see the Beams and Plates document in the RS3 Theory section.
