Introduction Three significant road tunnels have been constructed in Brisbane, Australia, over the last 12 years, namely the CLEM7 (formerly North-South Bypass Tunnel), Airport Link (APL) and Legacy Way (LW) … Read More
Introduction Alpine countries like Austria are especially vulnerable to natural phenomena like landslides which can cause severe damages (Fig. 1). Today, the understanding of the sequence of accelerations and decelerations … Read More
Introduction Safety assessment test on civil engineering constructions such as dams, tunnels, and bridges is a necessary endeavor to forestall sudden failure and collapse of engineering infrastructure. The mechanical properties … Read More
Introduction During the process of mining investigation, design & construction, a great deal of geological data must be processed and gave a feedback to the practical production. The storage management … Read More
Introduction During the preliminary design stages of a project, information on rock masses, in terms of strength, deformability, in situ stress and hydrologic characteristics, is not greatly detailed, and the … Read More
Introduction It is acknowledged that the mechanical behaviors of rocks are affected by their microstructures, which are usually associated with the distribution and amount of voids (Peck et al., 1985, … Read More
Introduction Deep-seated landslides (generally referred to as deep-seated gravity slope deformations, DSGSDs) are large mass movements. They are found in most rock types, with discontinuous and poorly defined lateral boundaries, … Read More
Introduction There is no doubt that recognition and mitigation of roof control hazards has improved over the past 30 years. Technology and methodology of roof support implementation has made mines … Read More
Introduction Construction and stabilization of underground openings in complex geological terrain are a challenging work. Opening created for any purpose provides avenues for the release of large amount of pre-existing … Read More
Introduction Societal demands for flood control, water resources, and domestic/industrial energy helped initiate a prolific period of dam design and construction throughout the United States during the early- and mid-twentieth … Read More
