There is a development trend from qualitative towards quantitative analysis for tunnel
stability. The widely accepted convergence-confinement method (CCM) provides a …

Resonance effects in parallel jointed rocks subject to stress waves are investigated using
transfer functions, derived from signals generated through numerical modelling. Resonance …

Ground support systems are commonly used to mitigate the potential consequences of
rockburst in burst prone mines. To assess the capacity of ground support systems when …

Dynamic disturbance from far-field seismic events is one of the main causes for triggering
rockbursts in underground excavations. In this study, a comprehensive methodology for the …

Considering the current challenges posed by steep mountain slopes and frequent seismic
activity in the mountainous regions of Southwest China, alongside the pressing need for …

The quantitative support design plays a vital role in tunnel design, while the conventional
quantitative framework of tunnel support design through convergence-confinement method …

The structural plane plays a decisive role in the development processes of rockburst. In this
paper, Barton-Bandis criterion of structural plane and its conversion relationship with Mohr …

The permeability of unconventional reservoirs is extremely low, resulting in their drainage
area being limited to tens of feet. Therefore, researchers have developed an effective …

Abstract Glencore's Nickel Rim South Mine, located in the Sudbury Basin, Ontario, Canada,
has been operating at intermediate depths (1,105–1,720 m below surface) since 2007. The …

A typical blast wave attenuation curve presents a relationship between Peak Particle
Velocity (PPV) at the surface of a geologic profile and distance. As the stress wave is …
