Numerical Modelling of a Void Behind Shaft Lining using FDM with a Concrete Spalling Algorithm

Purpose: The aim of the research presented in this paper was to determine the impact of voids behind the lining on shaft stability. Methods: This paper presents an example of extending the FLAC3D with the possibility of the simulation of concrete detachment and separation under specific conditions b...
