Interest in ice engineering has increased in recent years, from predicting the ice load during
the complex process of ice-structure interaction in the structural design analysis and …

The deformation and failure of deep soft rock roadways become more prominent. In this
paper, two true triaxial model tests were carried out to investigate the deformation and failure …

The paper presents the study of the deformation processes development in unstable rocks of
the hanging wall during mining a thick steeply dipping ore deposit in the example of the …

Extension fractures are typical for the deformation under low or no confining pressure. They
can be explained by a phenomenological extension strain failure criterion. In the past, a …

A novel transient unloading testing system was adopted to simulate the transient excavation
of tunnels under different lateral pressure coefficients (k 0). The results show that the …

This research investigates the influence of rock joint dip angle and spacing on the
performance of arched roof tunnels. A sensitivity analysis was conducted using Rocscience …

The excavation disturbed zone plays an important role in the evaluation of tunnel stability.
The identification of the excavation disturbed zone is perceived as a main concern. Taking …

Targeted to address the challenge of accurately predicting Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM)
penetration rates in real-time, this paper explores how to develop a deep learning method …

We have proposed a methodology to assess the robustness of underground tunnels against
potential failure. This involves developing vulnerability functions for various qualities of rock …

To conduct a successful geomechanical characterization of rock masses, an appropriate
interpretation of lithological heterogeneity should be attained by considering both the …
