Numerical Modelling of Rock Mass Behaviours
Tackling Complex Rock Engineering Problems
Rock masses are inherently complex, exhibiting anisotropy, fractures, and time-dependent behaviours that challenge conventional geotechnical design methods. Whether you’re working on tunnel stability, deep excavations, mining, or slope engineering, accurately predicting rock behaviour is critical to ensuring safe and efficient designs.
Through this session, you’ll gain insights into how numerical methods can improve geotechnical decision-making, enabling more reliable predictions and optimised designs for your projects.
Join us to explore how the following rock mass behaviours could possibly be considered in PLAXIS through the continuum modelling approach.
What you will learn:
- Elastic/plastic anisotropy
- Discrete fractures
- Nonlinear yielding/failure criterion
- Brittle/post-peak softening
- Time-dependent/ anisotropic swelling
- Time-dependent creep
