Small scale laboratory experiments of boulders bouncing on granular slopesBy V. Labiouse, B. Heidenreich
The rebound phenomenon, which occurs during rockfalls when a rock block impacts with a slope surface, is influenced by several parameters related not only to the slope material but also to the block a

Assessment of mass modulus of a weathered argillaceous rockBy Chris M. Haberfield, Neil D. Benson
The assessment of overall modulus (or stiffness) of a fractured weak to moderately strong rock mass is a key parameter in the design of civil engineering works in these materials. It also provides th

Railway tunnel design against karstic collapse in KoreaBy Y. H. Suh, H. C. Lee, D. S. Kim
A progressive karst formation and its influence upon engineered structures in the ‘phil-karst’ rock mass draw a tunnel engineer’s special attention to a long-term stability and the maintenance issues.

Coupled hydromechanical modelling of surface subsidence in crystalline rock masses due to tunnel drainageBy C. Zangerl, K. F. Evans, S. Loew
ABSTRACT: Settlements above fractured crystalline rock masses are rarely observed and in the past, geotechnical engineers would not expect substantial subsidence to occur in association with a deep tu
