evaluation of rock mass deformability
Authors
Abstract:
One of the most important effective parameters in design of engineering structures is deformability of rock mass. Benchmark of rock mass deformability is the deformation modulus that directly or indirectly obtained. Since the determination of rock mass deformation modulus indirect method by in-situ tests is time-consuming, costly and difficult from executive operations aspect, so it’s correctly estimation indirectly is important. In this project, in addition to the describing of rock mass of Ruodbar Lorestan pumped storage cavern with the rock mass index (RMi), the dilatometer tests in exploratory gallery around the storage cavern is simulated with numerical method. In the Roudbar storage cavern addition to bedding, three joint sets along with the fault areas in rock mass are observed. Therefore, assuming of the equivalent continuum environment from the finite difference method (FLAC 3Dsoftware) is used for numerical modeling of the dilatometer test. The deformation modulus also has been estimated by RMi experimental method. Investigations are indicative about 51 percent difference between experimental method and in-situ test results.

Calculation of tunnel behavior in viscoelastic rock mass
Wall displacements and ground pressure acting on the lining of a tunnel increase with time. These time-dependent deformations are both due to face advance effect and to the time-dependent behavior of the rock mass. Viscoelastic materials exhibit both viscous and elastic behaviors. Thorough this study, the effect of different linear viscoelastic models including Maxwell, Kelvin and Kelvin-Voigt...

Understanding and estimating the rock stress state has become increasingly important as nowadays numerical models are mainly used as rock engineering design tool. The objective in determining rock stresses may, in many cases, be seen as an interactive process. The type of data needed may change, depending on at what stage an underground project is in. Further more, preliminary measurements may ...

Because of the important role of rock mass structural properties on its mechanical behavior, determining the qualitative and quantitative properties of has been a subject of intense research. In this regard, numerous techniques such as scanline surveying, cell mapping, and geologic structure mapping have been proposed. However, applying such field surveying techniques for rock mass properties i...

Cap rocks are dams which can prevent the upward movement of hydrocarbons. They have disparities and weaknesses including discontinuities, crushed areas, and faults. Gas injection is an effective mechanism for oil recovery and pore pressure. With increasing pore pressure, normal stress is reduced, and the integrity of impermeable boundaries (cap rock, fault, etc.) becomes instable. A successful ...
