Underground Report

Source file: underground-report.htm

The underground reporting tool generates reports detailing the conformance between the design surfaces of a tunnel or void, and objects representing the as-built surfaces (all with ends). These reports are useful for determining the amount of underbreak and overbreak resulting from digging or shotcrete application thickness.

Note:   A design surface may also be derived from a tunnel centreline, along with a polygon to trace out the surface of the tunnel when projected along the centreline.

1. On the Query ribbon tab, in the Reporting group, click Underground.
   The Underground Report tool will open on its Specify underground report data page.

2. Drag the design surface and as-built surface into the corresponding fields. Drag in any of the following optional objects, as required:

   • Tunnel Centre line

   • Additional surfaces (for cross sections)

   

3. Click Next > to open the Configure report page.
   Adjust the look of the report and the data that will be displayed with the following criteria:

   • Content. Select components to include with the report.
     

   • Summary table. Select the details to summarise.
     

   • Colour scheme. Set up the colour scheme to reflect the values that will be used in the output. See Modify a colour scale for detailed instructions.

     

     Note:  The values in the colour scheme are used to define the increments in the results table of the output. Solids are also created based on the underbreak and overbreak increments used in the Colour scheme. These are checked later after analysis in order to validate results. In the case of no noticeable results, the values can be adjusted to show details at the level of the variation for the case in hand.

4. Cross sections. Set up cross section criteria, including a regular fixed spacing and custom locations.

   

    

5. Document. Enter metadata to include (report title and subtitle, author's name, and logo) and a page layout. Change the date if necessary.
   

6. Click Next > to open the Define report area page.
   Examine the layouts and adjust them as necessary. Add any custom cross sections, as required.

   

7. Click Next > to open the Review report solids page.



The analysis produces solids representing each of the overbreak and underbreak criteria as specified by the colour scheme setup. Leaving the report tool open, review each solid with the Surface Validity tool. Fix any errors found.

8. Click Next > to open the Review report images page.



Review the report images and make any final adjustments, if needed. To do this, click Edit image to open the Windows default image editor.

9. Click Next > to open the Preview report page.

   The report will display left, right, top, bottom, front and back views of the underground tunnel.

   

   The report will also display all measurements for each cross section over multiple pages, and end with a results summary table.
