... the same rock type. Even though lab experiments may result in unreliable compressibility values, this approach is still the most proper among the other common ones. An alternative way of obtaining oedometric bulk compressibility is through numerical modeling, simulating a K0 experiment using stress...

... displacements. More details about this methodology can be found in [6]. In this stage, the program prepares all initialization information to be read in the next step, during the complete local model simulation. The last function of the local modeling manager is the local execution, where all information...
