This FLAC 8.1 tutorial demonstrates how to update the soil densities and the effective stresses in the embankment.
This example describes how to import and use structural data generated by Rockmass Technologies mapping instrumentation.
With increasing depth, higher stress and more difficult mining. With increasing depth is there more ground surface effects or less?
In this study, we address the issue of using graphs to predict flow as a fast and relevant substitute to classical DFNs. We consider two types of graphs, whether the nodes represent the fractures or the intersections between fractures.
The realism of Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) models relies on the spatial organization of fractures, which is not issued by purely stochastic DFN models. In this study, we introduce correlations between fractures by enhancing the genetic model (UFM) of Davy et al. [1] based on simplified concepts of nucleation, growth and arrest with hierarchical rules.
