6. Illustrations and validations

Typical soil mechanics problems are analyzed next to illustrate and validate the program.

6.5. Simulation of a tunnel excavation

The simulation of a tunnel excavation is illustrated. Typical preprocessing procedure can be found in section 2, or in this little java animation.

The intensity of the stress-level is shown in fig. 6.16.
