Guidelines for comparing field or physical model observations with numerical simulations

This paper presents short report on the activities of TC204 Working Group on "Guidelines to compare field or physical model observations with numerical simulations". The main objective of the WG is that of proposing recommendations concerning the comparison between calculated and observed behaviour, specifically adapted for the type of works covered by TC204, i.e. tunnels and open excavations in soft ground. © 2012 Taylor & Francis Group.
