Introduction<\/h3>\n

Engineering on rock slopes has been a debatable topic for years partly due to the limited number of rock engineers in the civil\/ geotechnical engineering industry and the lack of agreed and consistent standards and design codes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The behavior of rock masses<\/strong> during slope excavation, in some limited instances, can be similar and described in soil mechanics<\/strong> terms (highly disturbed material, heavily jointed very weak rocks, etc.). Consequently, limit equilibrium and finite element numerical modelling is regularly utilized in order to assess slope stability<\/strong> and eventually inform the design. However, depending on the ground conditions<\/strong> and material type, the rock mass behavior can be proven completely different from what was assumed. One of the main reasons for this, is the existence of discontinuities<\/strong> within the rock mass.<\/p>\n

In UDEC, which is a software based on the Finite Difference Method<\/strong> (FDM), the user can model sets or individual discontinuities, allowing the rock blocks to move along these planes. Consequently, the analysis can capture slip or detachment<\/strong> surfaces formed by discontinuities within the rockmass; which are more realistic especially in blocky\/ very blocky relative competent rock masses (\u03c3ci\u22652.5MPa) and hard rocks.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h3>\n

The main aim of this course is to familiarize the geotechnical engineer\/ engineering geologist with the principles of FDM numerical modelling and how to utilize the capabilities of UDEC, in slope stability problems in rock.<\/p>\n

The course will focus on step by step building models in UDEC, examining the impact of material and discontinuity parameters, construction sequence and efficiency of slope stabilization measures.<\/p>\n
