Abstract: Wave propagation in a layered rock mass is a common problem in geotechnical engineering. The bedding planes in a layered rock mass are generally in situ stressed and adhesively bonded. This study extended the time-domain ...

Abstract: Rock burst is one of the most hazardous problems that is encountered during tunnel excavation. However, less research concerns tunnel excavation in an interbedded layer with alternating strong and soft layers. In this ...

Abstract: For tunneling in squeezing rock, large deformation induced by tunnel excavation and creep of squeezing rock has been a great challenge during construction. This large deformation would keep growing for a long time, ...
