In this paper, we consider a multi-lithology diffusion model used in stratigraphic modelling to simulate large scale transport processes of sediments described as a mixture of $L$ lithologies. This model is a simplified one for which the surficial fluxes are proportional to the slope of the topography and to a lithology fraction with unitary diffusion coefficients. The main unknowns of the system are the sediment thickness $h$, the $L$ surface concentrations $c_i^s$ in lithology $i$ of the sediments at the top...

The main goal of the paper is to describe a reinforcement consisting of fully grouted bolts, which is applied to stabilizing underground openings and tunnels. After a variational formulation is given, the existence and uniqueness is proved. Some asymptotic results that make it possible to replace the real system with a continuous one more suitable for discretization are presented. Some other types of reinforcements and properties are studied.
