Evaluation and Assessment of Inflow Rates in Tunnels Excavated in Jointed Rock Mass
… the coupled hydro-mechanical behavior within the rock fractures. The main concluding points of the study can be summarized as follows: (1) The hydro-mechanical behavior of the ring of tighter rock around the opening is similar to that of a semi-permeable liner, and the rate of water inflow into an …

Study of mechanical properties of jointed rock mass using lattice-spring-based synthetic rock mass (LS-SRM) modeling approach
… numerical modeling technique such as synthetic rock mass (SRM) modeling for the characterization of mechanical properties of rock mass. However, the SRM modeling approaches that have been used to date such as the ones based on bonded particle and bonded blocks cannot properly incorporate …

INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF ROCK BRIDGES ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF JOINTED ROCK MASS USING LATTICE SPRING-BASED SYNTHETIC ROCK MASS (LS-SRM) APPROACH
<p>"Rock bridges were defined as a segment of intact rock that separates from discontinuities. Numerous studies are focused on developing methods to quantify their significance in rock mass strength and deformability behavior. This thesis aimed to enhance understanding of the effect of rock bridges …

Lateral load capacity of drilled shafts in jointed rock
… often act on the heads of drilled shafts in jointed rock. In current design practice, the p-y curve method used in design of laterally loaded drilled shafts in soil is adopted in the design of such shafts in jointed rock. The p-y curve method treats the soil as a continuum. The continuum …
