Read MoreTwo members of a British family have died and two others are critically injured from a landslide while they were hiking on holiday in Australia. The man, 49, and his 9 year old son were killed by fal...
Read MoreRock at depth is subjected to stresses resulting from the weight of the overlying strata and from locked-in stresses of tectonic origin. When an opening is excavated in this rock, the stress field is...
Read MoreRock masses are characterized by the existence of distributed joints. The mechanical properties of jointed rock masses are strongly dependent on the properties and geometry of the joints. Jointed roc...
