Numerical simulation of selected geologic processes based on Discrete Element Method
… regime based on Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC). A scale-independent modeling approach based on PFC2D has been established to simulate the development of pull-apart basins. The micro-scale PFC models are used to investigate crack propagation and basin development in releasing sidestep …

Numerical Modeling for Increased Understanding of the Behavior and Performance of Coal Mine Stoppings
… in the Mine Roof Simulator and modeled using UDEC. Through a combination of physical testing and numerical modeling a failure mechanism for concrete block stoppings was established. This failure mechanism consists of development of stress concentrations where a height difference as small as …

Distinct Element Modeling of the Shimizu Tunnel No.3 in Japan
… parameters. A final simulation using the code UDEC and the convergence-confinement method yields interesting results which are comparable to the monitored data.

Integrated field investigation, numerical analysis and hazard assessment of the Portillo Rock Avalanche site, Central Andes, Chile
… major rockslide. The distinct element code UDEC was used to evaluate the failure mechanism. Elasto-plastic modelling results showed that sliding and shearing along the bedding planes together with brittle fracturing and shearing through the toe of the slope likely had occurred. Runout …
