Prediction of collapses when tunneling through faults

The article presents numerical simulation results for tunnel collapse prediction using the Disctinct Element Method (DEM). The results of the study show that the use of DEM enables simulation of the collapse mechanism and prediction of its potential collapse extent in underground tunnel construction. Based on the simulation results, suitable measures to prevent a possible collapse could be proposed and planned.
