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 …

Surface settlement (SS) resulting from tunnel excavation operations is a critical concern in
tunnel engineering due to its potential impact on adjacent structures. This review …

A parametric study of undrained stability of a spherical cavity in clays is investigated by finite
element limit analysis with an axisymmetric condition. Influences of cover depth ratio of …

Tunnelling related hazards are very common in the Himalayan terrain and a number of such
instances have been reported. Several twin tunnels are being planned for transportation …

The kinematic approach of limit analysis is explored in three-dimensional face stability of
large-diameter tunnels in soils with linearly increasing undrained strength with depth. Due to …

It is common nowadays that tunnels are constructed at places where asymmetric topography
or building exist, but insufficient attention has been paid to the influence of asymmetric …

Rocks containing various types of cracks may undergo microcrack expansion and
connection under compressive load, which leads to rock fracture under different loading …

This paper presents a novel and highly efficient approach for coupling the Discrete Element
Method (DEM) and the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for time-domain simulations of …

A direct half-plane time-domain boundary element method (BEM) was developed and
successfully applied to analyze the transient response of ground surface in the presence of …

A direct time-domain numerical approach named the half-plane boundary element method
is proposed based on the half-space Green's functions for seismic analysis of a …
