This paper illustrates the use of MIDAS GTS NX to investigate the tunnel's simulation in order to highlight the effect of static and dynamic load on the behaviour of tunnel to compare this response expressed in terms of displacement and stresses acting on the tunnel and ground. Main tunnel is located in the ground having uniform property throughout its extent, connecting gallery is located perpendicular to the main tunnel, the shotcrete and rock bolts for each tunnel will be installed.
