Three panels of a longwall excavation are virtually placed and excavated beneath a main valley. The strike-slip fault structure and normal displacement result in the formation of valleys in the model. The FLAC3D model successfully replicates and creates the 3D fault zone as a strike-slip type structure in the entire thickness of the model. The initial and boundary conditions are simplified, and mimic the Riedel shear experiment and the constitutive model in the literature. In this study, the initiation and the initial evolution of a strike-slip fault was modeled using the FLAC3D software program. Furthermore, these branches are zones of non-zero thickness where material continuously undergoes damage even during interseismic periods. While faults are commonly simulated as a single planar or non-planar interface for a safety or stability analysis in underground mining excavation, the real 3D structure of a fault is often very complex, with different branches that reactivate at different times.
