33 Does rock change in mud in yielding zones??? No!!! Chapter Yielding zones only signal locations where the strength of the material, mostly calculated as shear strength, became lower than acting stresses. All deformations calculated as yielding are always questionable and should be taken with caution. However, extensive existence of large yielding zones signal certainly problems in numerical Model, and might signal also problems in reality. /0

50 Conclusions What is the value of a numerical model? Technical value of a numerical model is directly proportional to the professional skills of the engineer working with the model, his ability to use the software, and his understanding of all aspects of the technical problem under consideration. 0/0
