Numerical study of the circular opening effect on mechanical behaviour of rock under confinement

Opening holes in rock including their size and distribution can affect the performance of rock-related structures. A good understanding on this will contribute to, for example, rock cavern design, and construction, tunnelling, and mining engineering. To improve the understanding, a comprehensive inv...
