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

Use of magnetic anistropy sensor for measurement of stresses on steel support and its potential
By H. Sekimoto, T. Matsuoka, K. Yasuhara, M. Ota, S. Akutagawa
A magnetic anisotropy sensor is used for nondestructive measurement of stress on surfaces of a ferromagnetic material, such as steel. The sensor is built on the principle of the magneto-strictive effe

Measurements and analyses of blasting vibrations
By J. Werfling, J. R. Kiehl
SUMMARY: The effects of blasting on structures are assessed on the basis of the maximum amplitudes of the occuring vibration velocities. If the standard values in the German Standard DIN 4150 are not
