RockEng would like to acknowledge the recent publications by our employees at ARMA 2018 meeting in Seattle: “Crown pillar extraction at Pino Altos Mine – geomechanical aspects of risk evaluation, design and implementation”. Presented by Dr. Kathy...
The Numerical Modelling Calibration Toolbox
The first and most important phase of any numerical modelling calibration is the development of a ‘ground behaviour model’ (a term which describes the compilation of all available site geotechnical data). With such a model on hand, the practitioner tasked with...
Qualitative vs. Quantitative Calibration
Uncertainty in geomechanical and rock engineering problems is directly related to the data-limited nature of our field. In situations where varying the numerous input parameters result in substantial variance in output, models are poorly constrained. The inherent...
