| Adequate prediction of stress conditions and deformations in the subsurface under natural and induced circumstances (e.g. during construction or due to extraction of fluids and/or gas) is an important issue for geomechanical modelling. Geomechanical models are indispensable for reliable design of engineering structures, hazard and risk evaluation, and for long-term prediction of ground surface movement and stress development in the subsurface. |
