Kindly share any material on how to design a tunnel on sap2000. Attached is a pic of a model i found somewhere. this person has braced the tunnel by using "link supports" which I have no idea about since i have ever used them. Whats the purpose of these supports? Its properties have terms like coupled or uncoupled stiffness. and factors for line area and solid springs etc. That image is attached too and the values this person has entered are 1000 and 1000000. Its going above my head. Please guide about this and also how to calculate stiffness and when to define stiffness for a member?

I am going to analyze the building by the method of Spring Mass Modelling and the modelling has been completed in the ETABS and all the parameters for the spring mass modelling (which include the impulsive and convective mass parameters). has been calculated. But i am facing the problem in assigning the link properties for this model in etabs. So, if anyone have some ideas please share with me!! Also if any have done this type of analysis please send me the model. Thanks in Advance.. Email: bhattrai100dinesh@gmail.com
