Tunnel Misalignment with Geostatic Principal Stress Directions in Anisotropic Rock Masses

February 13, 2020
Rock masses may present pronounced stress anisotropy, and so it is likely that a tunnel is misaligned with the geostatic principal stress directions. As a consequence, anti-symmetric axial displacements and axial shear stresses are induced around the tunnel due to the presence of far-field axial shear stresses. Limited research has been conducted on the effects ...

Influence of Traverse Velocity and Pump Pressure on the Efficiency of Abrasive Waterjet for Rock Cutting

September 11, 2017

This paper presents investigations on the behavior of four types of rocks (syenite, granite, marble and sandstone) subjected to abrasive waterjet cutting. The influence of traverse velocity and pump pressure on the efficiency of cutting is analyzed. Moreover, the influence of the physical-mechanical behavior of the rocks on their removal process is inve...
