In this webcast session, Francesca Brambilla, Geotechnical Engineer at Arup presented their approaches to model rock mass using FEM and DEM, using the pseudo-discontinuous method to model the rock mass domain and the in-situ anisotropic stress state, as well as model the support systems and the excavation sequence.
