Coffee Corner: Modelling fractured rock mass with PLAXIS 2D

For our first Coffee Corner of 2022, we'll take a closer look at the new Discontinuity element.

Rock mass is not a homogeneous material: the presence of faults, fractures, joints, and weakness planes influence the mechanical behavior, often more than the properties of the rock mass itself. With the new Discontinuity element in PLAXIS 2D we can now incorporate this.

In this Coffee Corner we will cover:

  • What is a Discontinuity element?

  • When would you need this?

  • Which properties do we need?
