This training is an introduction to continuous modeling with FLAC2D and FLAC3D. At the end of the course, participants will master the graphical interface, documentation and the main modeling steps. Concepts are illustrated using a tunnel excavation example, from building the model geometry to results analysis. This introductory course provides the foundation for more advanced use of the software, which can be covered in more specific training modules.
By-products and waste from power generation need to be stored or disposed in a manner safe to human life and with minimized impact on the natural environment for up to one million years. The design, performance assessment, and construction of long-term underground storage facilities that are safe for the environment and human population are major challenges for governments and the energy sector.
