Modelling of blast-induced damage in tunnels using a hybrid finite-discrete numerical approach

This paper presents the application of a hybrid finite-discrete element method to study blast-induced damage in circular tunnels. An extensive database of field tests of underground explosions above tunnels is used for calibrating and validating the proposed numerical method; the numerical results a...
