A method to identify deformation anisotropy of rock masses by triaxial testing

Prediction of the deformation modulus of rock masses using Artificial Neural Networks and Regression methods

Static deformation modulus is recognized as one of the most important parameters governing the behavior of rock masses. Predictive models for the mechanical properties of rock masses have been used in rock engineering because direct measurement of the properties is difficult due to time and cost constraints. In this method the deformation modulus is estimated indirectly from classification syst...

Grouting of Rock Masses

The grouting of rock used to be a quite empirical constructional technique aimed to improve somewhat the physical properties of the masses, which are actually part of the civil engineering project. Different "grouting schools" or "ways of thinking" did develop and a considerable number of recipes were dictated by "great old men" and enforced later on by regulations of any kind. Only in the last...

Development of a new creep testing equipment to obtain long-term deformation parameters of salt rocks

Creep phenomenon in rock engineering plays a key role in development of underground spaces as they must be stable enough for a long period of time. Current research involved designing and manufacturing of a new creep testing machine. The equipment is capable to perform simultaneous light-duty creep tests on more than one cylindrical rock samples at a very low cost.To evaluate the equipment’s pe...
