Dynamic response of tunnels in jointed rocks

F. E. Heuze / R. J. Shaffer / O. R. Walton / D. M. Maddix

We describe the application of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to the dynamic analysis of the response of tunnels in jointed rocks to earthquake loading. In situations where large motions of many blocks and collapse occur, the discontinuum-based DEM approach appears superior to other methods of analysis.
