Abstract This paper proposes a multi-mesh modeling method for nonlinear dynamic analysis of super-large-scale tunnel structure using FEM, compensating the incompetence of the traditional modeling techniques. Adopting parallel computing algorithm and making effective control of the time step, the simulation for the large-scale multi-mesh model can be done on super computers. The modeling and simulation of the Qing Cao Sha Raw Water Tunnel Project is a good example of how this modeling method can be utilized practically and effectively. The result of simulation shows a combination of overall and part detailed response of the tunnel lining, thus proving the feasibility of this modeling method.
