Geological & geotechnical modelling
Overview
The team has many years experience in development of algorithms and software for the generation, analysis and interpretation of geological modelling of rock masses for geo-engineering. This includes
- acquisition of high resolution photogrammetric data for characterisation of surface geological and geotechnical features
- digital methods for structural mapping of rock mass defects
- analysis of structurally controlled failure modes
- discrete fracture network analysis for 3-dimensional characterisation of defect connectivity
- estimation of in-situ block size distribution
- statistical methods to characterise uncertainty
Statistical analysis of bench crest damage with red zones indicating 50% of simulations have predicted damage
