Geomechanical model for surface excavation in tropically weathered granite

Mass heterogeneity, abrupt changes in weathering state and presence of boulders in tropically weathered granite lead to uncertainties in predicting the surface excavation performance. This study proposed a new geomechanical model for prediction of surface excavation rate by considering the complex c...
