This FLAC 8.1 tutorial demonstrates how to establish the stresses in the dry embankment prior to the formation of the upstream reservoir.
In this tutorial we will go over meshing, from the creation of a 2D mesh and how to import it to MINEDW, to the inclusion of topography, layers, and pinch-outs to different areas of interest in the model.
With increasing depth, higher stress and more difficult mining. With increasing depth is there more ground surface effects or less?
Historical development and engineering applications using PFC2D and PFC3D.
