This FLAC 8.1 tutorial demonstrates how to update the soil densities and the effective stresses in the embankment.
This example describes how to import and use structural data generated by Rockmass Technologies mapping instrumentation.
The McArthur River mine in northern Saskatchewan is the largest single producer of uranium in the world.
Field monitoring programs (e.g., convergence measurements and stress measurements in the support system) play an important role in following the response of the ground and of the support system during and after excavation. They contribute to the adaptation of the excavation and support installation method and the prediction of the long-term behavior. In the context of the Lyon–Turin link project, an access gallery (SMP2) was excavated between 2003 and 2010, and a survey gallery (SMP4) has been excavated since 2017.
Hydraulic testing using wireline deployed water-inflated packers is becoming a common practice for groundwater characterization at mining sites.
