Reflections on Empirical Methods in Geomechanics – The Unmentionables and Hidden RisksBy F T. Suorineni
Empirical methods are deeply rooted in geomechanics. This is a consequence of the recognised complexity of the nature of the rock mass. The usual assumptions of material continuity, homogeneity, isotr
