1. Tunnel exits are situated in weak layers of alluvial and weathered soils within 15m
from the ground surface.
Overview 2. Since the tunnel exits are constructed after excavating the sloped surface, the
surrounding ground will experience new stress fields, which exhibit different
behaviors than the initial state of stresses.

The proposed development for the Dubai Tower project comprises the
construction of an approximately eighty floor high rise tower with mezzanine,
Overview ground floor and five basement levels and will be the tallest structure in Qatar
when it is complete. The tower is founded on a piled raft. In order to fully
understand the behaviour of the foundation, a 3D finite element model is required.
