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.

This example models a column-architrave classical structure subjected to earthquake loading. The structure modeled is the SE corner of the Parthenon (Athens, Greece) and earthquake motion histories are from the 6.2 Kalamata earthquake of 1986. The ground motion was amplified by different amounts to observe the effect on the structure.
