Modeling hard rock failure induced by structural planes around deep circular tunnels
Modeling hard rock failure induced by structural planes around deep circular tunnels is a scholarly work, published in 2019 in ''Engineering Fracture Mechanics''. The main subjects of the publication include geotechnical engineering, coalescence, parametric statistics, shear, rock mechanics, structural engineering, Rock mass classification, geology, slip, roof, and seismic analysis. Numerical results indicate that the failure intensity of rock tunnel is a function of both dip angles and frictional coefficients of structural planes.
