A coupling method for simulating tunnel excavation with block, particle and bar elements

Excavation of tunnel in rock mass refers to complex continuum-discontinuous processes. For capturing the damages of side walls and the supports of bolts/cables, different types of elements shall be used in the same framework. In this work, a novel method is proposed which couples block, particle, an...
