    Mechanical behaviour of chalk reservoir: Numerical modelling of water sensitivity and time dependence effects

    By Ch. Schroeder, F. Collin, R. Charlier, Y. J. Cui

    The paper proposes two numerical models ot the mechanical behaviour of chalk. First, an elasto-plastic constitutive law reproduces the different plastic mechanisms of the chalk and the influence of po

    Technical Note: The Palabora High Reach Rig - Introduction

    By D. P. Penswick

    The Palabora open pit is scheduled to cease operations in 2002. While the ore body continues below the bottom of the final pit shell, the stripping ratio precludes further economic open pit mining. Pa

    A few remarks on storage of low temperature materials in rock caverns

    By N. Kinoshita, Y. Inada

    The authors have proposed and discussed storage of low temperature materials such as LNG, LPG and frozen food in rock caverns. In this case, as the rock mass around the caverns will receive effects of

    SRC rock mass classification applied to tunnels under high tectonic stress

    By L. I. Gonzalez de Vallejo

    SRC rockmass classification have been applied to 25 tunnels in Spain and Italy, for which it was found that much heavier supports than those estimated by the RMR index were required. SRC and RMR indi
