Predicting the extent of rock failure/loosening above underground excavations in massive and jointed rock

This study is primarily a numerical investigation into the geomechanical response and deformation of two kinds of rock materials, massive and jointed rocks to excavation. Two finite element programs Phase2 and InSight2D were used to study the development of the failure/damage zones above an undergr...
