This video demonstrates using a library set of Building Blocks as a starting point for creating a new model. In this example, cylindrical blocks are snapped together to represent a tunnel and intersected with other blocks representing a nearby wall.
This FLAC 8.1 tutorial demonstrates how to update the soil densities and the effective stresses in the embankment.
A tutorial showing how to create an unstructured mesh in FLAC3D 7.0 using the extruder pane.
The Boliden Kevitsa open pit mine is revising its strategic plan with a new pit optimization project undertaken to investigate an increase in production.
It has become common practice to create a three-dimensional (3-D) geomechanical model for the analysis of rock stability.
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.
