... to well scale, a multi-scale management program was also developed, following a reasonable multi-scale workflow. Theoretical aspects of these developments are presented in this paper, and applications can be found in the part II of this work. Keywords. Casing integrity, finite element submodeling, fluid...

... Abstract. The application of the Disturbance Factor (D) in the stability of rock slopes has been the subject of much debate among practitioners since its first appearance in the paper Hoek et al. (2002). For mined slopes, it is generally accepted that rock masses are subject to near-field...

... probability of failure (PoF) response for two slope geometries through both RSM and PEM in order to establish the applicability of response surface modeling to real-world analysis scenarios. FoS estimations were undertaken in a 3DEC [1] model of similar complexity to those currently employed in assessing...
