An artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting the stability of rectangular tunnels in
rock masses based on the Hoek–Brown (HB) failure criterion is presented in this study …

In this paper, artificial neural network (ANN) models are presented in order to enable a
prompt assessment of the stability factor of tunnels in rock masses based on the Hoek …

The flow of fracturing fluid through rock pores generates a seepage force (SF) that disrupts
the existing stress equilibrium and significantly affects rock deformation and failure. Despite …

In this paper, the seismic bearing capacity of a strip footing sitting on rock masses has been
investigated following the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. The generalized tangential …

In this paper, the effect of the adjacency of two strip footings on bearing capacity of rock
masses was investigated using the upper bound analysis and finite element method. The …

It is common that the structures on the hilly terrain have footings laid on rockmass slopes.
For such a case, there is a need to evaluate the factors governing the bearing capacity of the …

This study presents the numerical solution for the seismic bearing capacity of embedded
strip footing in Hoek–Brown rock mass. The upper-bound solutions are presented by …

Uniaxial compression tests were performed to study the influence of temperature on the
physical and mechanical behaviour of granite. Then water flow experiments were conducted …

As a fluid flows through a porous media, a drag force, called seepage force in the paper, will
be formed on the matrix of the media in the fluid flowing direction. However, the seepage …

Fluid seepage into rock pores not only generates poroelastic stress but also exerts seepage
force on the rock skeleton. However, since the mechanism of the effect of seepage force on …
