Appropriate Loading Techniques in Finite Element Analysis of Underground Structures

Stability of underground structures is assessed by comparing rock strength with induced stresses resulted from ground stresses. Rock mass surrounding the opening may fail either by fracture or excessive deformation caused. Accurate calculation of induced stresses is therefore fundamental in the stability analysis of an opening. Although numerical methods, particularly finite element method, are...

Numerical Modelling of the Segmental Lining of Underground Structures

There are several methods for analysing the behaviour of underground structures under different loading conditions. Most of these methods have many simplifications; therefore, in some cases, the results are too conservative and a very high safety factor, usually of more than 2 is needed. On the other hand, for stability analysis and the designing of support systems, these methods consider segme...

The Jersey Punk Basement Scene: Exploring the Information Underground

This research project attempts to understand the complex information interactions between musicians, promoters, and audience members who perform/promote/transform residential basements into underground music venues. The goals of this project are (1) to obtain an understanding of the informationseeking practices that enable social actors to participate in an underground music scene, (2) to ident...

Compressive sensing of underground structures using GPR

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Feature detection in sensing problems usually involves two processing stages. First, the raw data collected by a sensor, such as a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), is inverted to form an image of the subsurface area. Second, the image is searched for features like lines using an algorithm such as the Hough Transform (HT), which converts the problem of findin...
