    Reflections on Empirical Methods in Geomechanics – The Unmentionables and Hidden Risks

    By 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
