Development of a fault-rupture environment in 3D: A numerical tool for examining the mechanical impact of a fault on underground excavations
While faults are commonly simulated as a single planar or non-planar interface for a safety or stability analysis in underground mining excavation, the real 3D structure of a fault is often very complex, with different branches that reactivate at different times. Furthermore, these branches are zone...
