In this fully up-to-date volume, important new developments and applications of discrete element modelling are highlighted and brought together for presentation at the First International UDEC/3DEC Symposium.Papers covered the following key areas:* behaviour of masonry structures (walls, bridges, towers, columns)* stability and deformation of tunnels and caverns in fractured rock masses* geomechanical modelling for mining and waste repositories* rock reinforcement design (anchors, shotcrete, bolts)* mechanical and hydro-mechanical behaviour of dams and foundations* rock slope stability, deformation and failure mechanisms* modelling of fundamental rock mechanical problems* modelling of geological processes* constitutive laws for fractured rock masses and masonry structures* dynamic behaviour of discrete structures.Numerical Modelling of Discrete Materials in Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Earth Sciences provides an ultra-modern, in-depth analysis of discrete element modelling in a range of different fields, thus proving valuable reading for civil, mining, and geotechnical engineers, as well as other interested professionals.
