Tensile strength of rock plays a significant role in the design of tunnels and underground engineering projects. Due to the inefficiency of direct method in determining rock tensile …
A thorough knowledge of the variations of mechanical properties of rock materials with their water content is essential for evaluating the structural behaviour and durability of stone …
Many studies have shown that artificial neural networks (ANNs) are useful for predicting the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of rocks. However, ANNs do have some …
In many site investigation phases of civil and mining engineering projects, the tensile strength of the rocks is one of the most significant parameters that must be identified. This …
Engineering properties of rocks such as unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and Young's modulus (E) are among the essential parameters for the design of tunnel …
Soil replacement with medium-graded waste materials is an effective means to improve the physical properties of marginal soil prior to cement stabilization and to minimize the input of …
One of the undesirable phenomena in the surface mines, which results in various hazards for human and facilities, is flyrock. It seems that the careful study of the subject and its effects …
To design the tunnel excavations, the most important parameters are the engineering properties of rock, eg, Young's modulus (E) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) …
