Cable elements in 3DEC may be assigned a tensile yield force limit and an axial rupture strain in order to simulate cable rupture. 3DEC can also simulate the shearing resistance along the cable length between the grout and either the cable or the host material.
This tutorial will guide you through the main steps required to build a simple PFC model with 30 interacting balls in a box using the linear contact model.
This tutorial will show how to paint zone data onto an imported geometric surface in FLAC3D.
A geochemical model was developed to predict future water quality of the Cove pit lake in support of site closure and regulatory permitting.
The challenges of mining economically have never been greater than under current global financial conditions.
