Case Study Webinar Numerical Analysis of Tunnels in Anisotropic Rock Mass Formations March 29, 2022 (Tuesday)
- Time 1: GMT 6am / SGT 2pm / AEDT 5pm / NZDT 7pm
- Time 2: GMT 11am / BST 12pm / CEST 1pm / CAT 1pm / GST 3pm / IST 4:30pm | Duration : 60 min
On-Demand
OVERVIEW

This presentation tackles the 3D rock mass modelling considering a “pseudo-discontinuum” approach, by modelling the intact rock blocks with solid elements and the discontinuities with interface elements. An example of modeling the excavation of a deep tunnel in an anisotropic formation is dealt with using the software considered, comparing the results and evaluating the effectiveness of the analysis methodology.
