The elasto-plastic response of underground excavations in rock masses that satisfy the Hoek-Brown failure criterion
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the Hoek-Brown parameters describing the strength of rock masses and the mechanical response of underground openings has been discussed and a formulation of the elasto-plastic behavior of rock in terms of the HOE criterion is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theoretical model for gas adsorption-induced coal swelling
Zhejun Pan,Luke D. Connell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model is derived to describe adsorption-induced coal swelling at adaption and strain equilibrium, which applies an energy balance approach, which assumes that the surface energy change caused by adsoption is equal to the elastic energy change of the coal solid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ground Response Curves for Rock Tunnels
TL;DR: In this paper, a closed-form solution is presented for an elastic-brittle-plastic material behavior model in which post-peak dilatancy occurs at a constant rate with major principal strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Brazilian Disc Test for Rock Mechanics Applications: Review and New Insights
TL;DR: In this paper, a linear elastic numerical model is constructed to study crack initiation in a 50mm-diameter Brazilian disc using FLAC3D, and the maximum tensile stress and tensile strain are both found to occur about 5 mm away from the two loading points along the compressed diameter of the disc, instead of at the center of a disc surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of the convergence-confinement method of tunnel design to rock masses that satisfy the hoek-brown failure criterion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the practical application of the Convergence-Confinement Method of tunnel design to rock-masses that satisfy the Hoek-Brown failure criterion.
