Due to the complex behaviour of rock masses under stress, rock excavation projects present stability and safety challenges. This webinar, being the first in a two-part series, focuses on understanding the plastic radius—the extent of plastic deformation around an excavation—and designing appropriate support systems, which are essential for successful project outcomes.
PLAXIS provides rock engineers with the tools to assess plastic radius and check the effectiveness of support systems. With PLAXIS, rock engineers can effectively simulate stresses caused by excavation, anticipate potential failure mechanisms, and refine support system configurations to guarantee the safety and stability of rock excavation projects.
