Geotechnical aspects of tunnelling in discontinuous rock, with particular reference to the lower chalk
Discontinuities, defined as breaks or interruptions of the mechanical properties of a solid, are recognised in the literature as being of vital importance in controlling the behaviour of rock during tunnelling. This thesis presents a detailed study of an experimental tunnel excavated in discontinuou...
