The mined underground space is formed by the exploitation of resources and minerals. On
the basis of review analysis of experiences of utilization of mined underground space over …

To study the deformation and failure mechanisms of soft rock mining roadways, the 1506
return airway of Anyang Coal Mine is taken as the engineering background. Based on limit …

The present paper explores the combination of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
photogrammetry and three-dimensional geomechanical modeling in the investigation of …

The assessment of stability of man-made underground caves, excavated in the past and
later on abandoned, represents a serious challenge for land and urban planning operations …

This paper aims to present a new methodological approach for the stability assessment of
coastal cliffs constituted of discontinuous rock masses. The method entails in situ specific …

The aim of this study is to understand the collapse mechanism of a shallow tunnel based on
the upper bound analysis method, considering the variational approach for the problem with …

The internal damage of red-bed soft rock induced by water is pervasive. The accumulation,
growth, and localization of damage is a multi-scale process that can lead to significant …

Soft highly porous carbonate rocks, such as calcarenites, and soluble sulphate rocks, such
as gypsum, are very common in the Mediterranean region and, due to their microstructure …

The stress–strain curves and mechanical properties of Shuangjiangkou granite were
obtained using five groups of conventional triaxial tests under various confining pressures …

A multidisciplinary petrographic and geotechnical approach, aimed at understanding the
conditioning by rock-fabric on the mechanical properties of carbonate soft rocks, is shown in …
