Fumagalli, a work that covers both the development and present state of the art of structural model techniques. In my view, in this context, only a lack of understanding of the possibilities offered by experiments on models and sometimes an unjustified suspicion of them have up to now restricted the development that these methods deserve. I think, in particular, and the many examples quoted in the text bear witness to this, that models today constitute an efficient means of research that have been refined through advances in the methods of reproduction, testing and measurement. They represent a reliable and above all safe method of investigation, suitable for use in the elastic range and beyond up to failure, as much for historic ancient monuments as for modern works and structures of particularly bold design that are frequently highly redundant. They are a particularly valuable tool in areas where analytical methods are inadequate, and yet always useful for comparison with analytical results. Guido Oberti Preface I have embarked on writing a text on the techniques of structural models for two basic reasons: Firstly because I wish to attempt in some measure a personal appreciation of the subject based on more than twenty years experience, insofar as this can be achieved in a logically coherent and complete treatise.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Model laws governing the design of geomechanical model studies of underground openings in rock subjected to static loads are developed using dimensional analysis and the theory of models. The significant variables influencing the prototype which are considered in this study are free-field stresses, intact rock properties, rock mass discontinuity properties, and the opening geometry. Body forces are considered insignificant as a first approximation. The prototype chosen for study is a short section of a long circular tunnel which is underground at a depth of more than 4 tunnel diameters. The development of a modeling material which successfully models the intact properties of rock is described. The development of an instrumentation system for the model is described. Of particular interest is the development of techniques for imbedding electrical resistance strain gages within the model material to measure radial and circumferential strains at points within the model around the tunnel. Some tentative observations are made concerning the feasibility of utilizing relatively large scale models to study the behavior of underground openings.

The development of a modeling material which successfully models the intact properties of rock is described. The design and development of a loading apparatus which allows independent control of the three principal stresses on the block is described. The development of an instrumentation system for the model is described. Of particular interest is the development of techniques for imbedding electrical resistance strain gages within the model sand/plaster material to measure radial and circumferential strains at points within the model around the tunnel. Model behavior observed was analysed and compared to theoretical predictions and field observations. (Author).

Download or read book Static Conceptual Fracture Modeling written by Ronald A. Nelson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modelling of flow in naturally fractured reservoirs is quickly becoming mandatory in all phases of oil and gas exploration and production. Creation of a Static Conceptual Fracture Model (SCFM) is needed as input to create flow simulations for today and for prediction of flow into the future. Unfortunately, the computer modelers tasked with constructing the gridded fracture model are often not well versed in natural fracture characterization and are often forced to make quick decisions as to the input required by the software used to create these models. Static Conceptual Fracture Modelling: Preparing for Simulation and Development describes all the fracture and reservoir parameters needed to create the fracture database for effective modelling and how to generate the data and parameter distributions. The material covered in this volume highlights not only natural fracture system quantification and formatting, but also describes best practices for managing technical teams charged with creating the SCFM. This book will become a must on the shelf for all reservoir modelers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the latest issues in multiscale geomechanics. Written by leading experts in the field as a tribute to Jean Biarez (1927-2006), it can be of great use and interest to researchers and engineers alike. A brief introduction describes how a major school of soil mechanics came into being through the exemplary teaching by one man. Biarez's life-long work consisted of explaining the elementary mechanisms governing soil constituents in order to enhance understanding of the underlying scientific laws which control the behavior of constructible sites and to incorporate these scientific advancements into engineering practices. He innovated a multiscale approach of passing from the discontinuous medium formed by individual grains to an equivalent continuous medium. The first part of the book examines the behavior of soils at the level of their different constituents and at the level of their interaction. Behavior is then treated at the scale of the soil sample. The second part deals with soil mechanics from the vantage point of the construction project. It highlights Biarez's insightful adoption of the Finite Element Codes and illustrates, through numerous construction examples, his methodology and approach based on the general framework he constructed for soil behavior, constantly enriched by comparing in situ measurements with calculated responses of geostructures.
