Calibration of coupled hydro-mechanical properties of grain-based model for simulating fracture process and associated pore pressure evolution in excavation damage zone around deep tunnels

The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for calibration of a discrete element grain-based model (GBM) to replicate the hydro-mechanical properties of a brittle rock measured in the laboratory, and to apply the calibrated model to simulating the formation of excavation damage zone (ED...
