This session will run from 12-1 pm AEST (1-2 pm AEDT).

The ATS Tunnel Design Guideline Presentation Series will bring together the authors of the guideline to discuss in detail the chapter contents. The ATS Tunnel Design Guideline was released in September 2020 and this webinar series has been established to provide readers with further context to the material included.

This is the second in a series of five presentations from authors of the ATS Tunnel Design Guideline will focus on chapters 3 and 4 which covers the Rock Classifications, Empirical Methods and the Beam-Spring Method.
