VERIFICATION AND APPLICATION OF FRACOD2D

Eleven demonstration problems are listed here as part of the verification and application tests of the FRACOD2D code. The data files are provided in the program package.

Example 1 - Single fracture subjected to normal tensile stress

Example 2 - Single fracture subjected to pure shear stress

Example 3 - Single inclined fracture subjected to uniaxial compression

Example 4 - Single inclined fracture subjected to biaxial compression

Example 5 - Single inclined fracture subjected to biaxial compression

Example 6 - Two inclined fractures subjected to uniaxial compression

Example 7 - Two inclined fractures subjected to biaxial compression

Example 8 - Fracture propagation from a tunnel in uniaxial compression

Example 9 - Fracture propagation from a tunnel under internal hydraulic pressure

Example 10 - Simple fracture propagation to form borehole breakouts

Example 11 -Complex fracture propagation to form borehole breakouts
