Numerical Modelling

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...

Qualitative vs. Quantitative Calibration

by RockEng | Announcements

Uncertainty in geomechanical and rock engineering problems is directly related to the data-limited nature of our field. In situations where varying...

The Numerical Representation of Rock Masses

by RockEng | Announcements

Rock mass behavior is controlled by the mechanical characteristics of intact rock and fracture networks. For modelling purposes, the mechanical...

Model Calibration Reduces Uncertainty and Mitigates Risk in Geomechanics Design

by RockEng | Announcements

Numerical modelling has become one of the most widely used design tools in geomechanics and rock engineering. While numerical modelling has...
