A pressure pulse is being applied to the tunnel boundary with a frequency of 4 Hz over tens of milliseconds. Quiet (i.e., viscous) boundaries have been applied to all but the top of the model, which remains a free surface.
A tutorial showing how to create an unstructured mesh in FLAC3D 7.0 using the extruder pane.
This tutorial will show how to paint zone data onto an imported geometric surface in FLAC3D.
A geochemical model was developed to predict future water quality of the Cove pit lake in support of site closure and regulatory permitting.
We derive the relationships that link the general elastic properties of rock masses to the geometrical properties of fracture networks, with a special emphasis to the case of frictional crack surfaces.
We extend the well-known elastic solutions for free-slipping cracks to fractures whose plane resistance is defined by an elastic fracture (shear) stiffness ks and a stick-slip Coulomb threshold.
Analyze the initial stress state in the central and southern areas of Stockholm for the Metro to Nacka and Southern Stockholm.
