A Numerical Study of Underground Cavern Stability by Geostress Characteristics
The stability of underground cavities is of increasing importance considering the predominant cavity locations built up in high mountain and canyon environments. Such cavity locations are characterized by a high initial in situ stress, which results in brittle fracture and deformation of the surroun...
