Abstract

An approach to model long term hydromechanical behavior of rock masses around underground excavations is proposed. Implemented in a classical finite element numerical code this approach combine in one hand a continuum model to describe the progressive damage and strain localization and a fracture mechanics XFEM based numerical procedure to model the behavior of fractured mass once the macrofracturing takes places.
