This example describes how to import and use structural data generated by Rockmass Technologies mapping instrumentation.
The proliferation of mine pits that intersect the groundwater table has engendered interest in environmental consequences of the lakes that form after cessation of dewatering.
This paper presents the formulation of a constitutive model to simulate the behavior of foliated rock mass. The 3D elastoplastic constitutive model, called Comba, accounts for the presence of arbitrary orientations of weakness in a nonisotropic elastoplastic matrix.
It has become common practice to create a three-dimensional (3-D) geomechanical model for the analysis of rock stability.
