The excavation of tunnels in brittle rocks with high in-situ strengths under large deviatoric stresses has been shown to exhibit brittle failure at the periphery of tunnels parallel to the maximum in-situ stress. This failure can either occur instant

The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for calibration of a discrete element grain-based model (GBM) to replicate the hydro-mechanical properties of a brittle rock measured in the laboratory, and to apply the calibrated model to simu

A recent research campaign at a Canadian nickel-copper mine involved instrumenting a hard rock sill drift pillar with an array of multi-point rod extensometers, distributed optical fibre strain sensors, and borehole pressure cells (BHPCs). The instru

Rockbursting in deep tunnelling is a complex phenomenon posing significant challenges both at the design and construction stages of an underground excavation within hard rock masses and under high in situ stresses. While local experience, field monit

During the construction of an underground excavation, damage occurs in the surrounding rock mass due in large part to stress changes. While the predicted damage extent impacts profile selection and support design, the depth of damage is a critical as

Discontinuity behaviour can have a large impact on geotechnical engineering design; therefore, it is essential to determine their geomechanical properties to predict rockmass behaviour and mitigate any potential failure that may affect personnel safe

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) test is crucial in determining the strength and stiffness behavior of intact rock and is frequently utilized by industry to determine project site characteristics. A fundamental procedure of UCS testing is stra

The importance of discontinuity geomechanical properties is increasing as the use of numerical models with explicit or discrete rock mass structure becomes the state of practice. Joint normal stiffness and joint shear stiffness are two parameters tha

Two fundamental fracturing mechanisms act as the primary drivers for burden removal in rock blasting: the propagation of radial cracks from the borehole due to the internal detonation pressure and the tensile failure relatively close to a free surfac
