Large-scale infrastructure projects. Application of rock mechanics in geotechnical engineering to avoid delays in constrution time and increases of costs—case studiesBy W. Wittke
SUMMARY: Geotechnical problems often lead to an increase of construction time and costs for large highway and railway projects. Some reasons, which have led to failures and thus to a delay of construc

Applications of seismic hazard assessment methods in minesBy G. van Aswegen
Large structures in mines (faults, dykes, pillars, abutments) fail when the load exceeds the strength. If the loading system stiffness (LSS, also referred to as the ‘local mine stiffness’) is lower th

Time-Dependent Behaviour Of Hard Rock In Deep Level Gold MinesBy D. F. Malan
In deep level hard rock mining the rheological behaviour of the rock is important as time-dependent aseismic processes can lead to a stable dissipation of energy thus reducing violent outbursts. Under
