In the last few decades, due to the increasing interest in civil and mining underground constructions at great depth, there have been growing activities aimed at studying the behavior of rock masses at high in-situ stress conditions, where brittle failures in pillars and tunnels generally occur.

Continuum numerical methods have provided important contributions to the understanding of these progressive failure phenomena along with the constant development of constitutive models for predicting the brittle response within the continuum approach.

Join our expert Giuseppe Cammarata in a live webinar where he will delve into the enhanced capabilities of PLAXIS for modelling the brittle behaviour of rock masses in deep conditions with practical cases of underground excavations.

Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to discover the capabilities of PLAXIS in assessing the brittle failure risk for a more reliable design strategy for underground rock engineering works.

What you will learn:

  • Rock mass constitutive law for brittle behaviour
  • Simulation of the rock masses behaviour in deep underground operations
  • Numerical method as a tool for optimized design
