PLAXIS: Introduction to the Jointed Rock Model for the Modeling of Soft Bedded Rock Formation

Rock masses are characterized by the existence of distributed joints. The mechanical properties of jointed rock masses are strongly dependent on the properties and geometry of the joints. Jointed roc...

Application of the Convergence-Confinement Method in PLAXIS 2D

Estimation of the support required to stabilize a tunnel excavation, especially in the vicinity of the face, is essentially a four-dimensional problem. Time-dependent weakening of the rock will com...
