Distinct Element Modeling of the Shimizu Tunnel No.3 in Japan
… deformations and loads in the tunnel, the distinct element and the convergence-confinement methods were used during the numerical simulations. A parametric analysis was performed initially in a pseudo-continuum approach to study the behavior of the wide tunnel geometry under various …

Assessment of Rib Failure Mechanisms Using Discontinuum Mechanics Based Modeling Approach
… the excavation differs. In this study, numerical modeling is employed to investigate mine rib behavior. Some scenarios were considered in the modeling process, including a non-cleated coal rib, a cleated rib, rib depth of cover, various rib support patterns, and the interaction between support and …
