This paper presents a simplified procedure to evaluate the failure probability of crossing
tunnels considering the spatial variabilities of rock mass properties. Numerical package …

The geological strength index (GSI) is one of the most exceptional rock mass classification
system which is used to evaluate very weak and highly jointed rock mass by different …

Large-scale slope destabilization could be aggravated due to swift urbanization and ever-
rising demands of geoengineering projects such as dams, tunnels, bridges and widening …

The accuracy of elastic analytical solutions and numerical models, widely used in
volcanology to interpret surface ground deformation, depends heavily on the Young's …

Rock slope failures pose significant challenges in geotechnical engineering due to the
intricate nature of rock masses, discontinuities, and various destabilizing factors during and …

Volcanoes are unstable structures that deform laterally and frequently experience mass
wasting events. Hydrothermal alteration is often invoked as a mechanism that contributes …

A comprehensive data compilation, in respect to thermo-mechanical parameters, of granite
exposed to temperatures up to about 1000° C is presented. Most material parameters …

If there is not adequate space for development of failure wedge behind a retaining wall, the
conventional methods of determining the active earth pressure cannot be used. In such …
