This FLAC 8.1 tutorial demonstrates how to conduct a steady-state seepage analysis to calculate the pore water pressures in the embankment due to the reservoir.
This tutorial reviews how you can generate movies from plots with FLAC3D and most Itasca software.
Lahars represent natural phenomena that can generate severe damage in densely populated urban areas. The evaluation of pressures generated by these mass flows on constructions (buildings, infrastructure…) is crucial for civil protection and assessment of physical vulnerability. The existing tools to model the spread of flows at large scale in densely populated urban areas remain inaccurate in the estimation of mechanical efforts. A discrete numerical model is developed for evaluating debris flow (DF) impact pressures at the local scale of one structure.
With increasing depth, higher stress and more difficult mining. With increasing depth is there more ground surface effects or less?
Numerical models are now used routinely to predict ground-water inflows to both surface and underground mines and to help design dewatering systems.
