Influence of degree of interlock on confined strength of jointed hard rock masses
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2020 The strength of jointed rock mass is strongly controlled by the degree of interlock between its constituent rock blocks. The degree of interlock constrains the kinematic freedom of individual rock blocks to rotate and slide along the block forming joints.

3D numerical modelling of shallow tunnel in weathered granite incorporating multi-stage excavation and pre-support [PDF]
, 2016 Generally tunnelling in urban ground condition is not always favourable due to the tunnels’ susceptibility to major displacement especially when excavated in the soft soil and/or weak weathered rock formation. Apart from conventional support systems, pre-

Stability analysis of deep jointed rock face based on GSI
Meikuang Anquan, 2023 In view of the difficulty in selecting mechanical parameters of jointed rock mass, a mechanical model of jointed rock mass considering joint strength is built based on the geological strength index GSI, combined with the damage mechanics principle and ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Key Findings: An assimilation methodology is established for the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder (TMS) flying on CubeSats in sun‐synchronous and inclined orbits, and in all cloud scenes. The TMS has a significant impact on weather forecast lead times up to 3 days in the Tropics in a research‐quality numerical weather prediction setting, and yields water ...

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.ABSTRACT Questions have recently been raised about the suitability of using porewater samples collected with suction lysimeters to estimate per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mass discharge in the vadose zone. Multiple lines of evidence were evaluated to determine if porewater samples collected during a data gaps investigation in the former ...

Boletín de Ciencias de la Tierra, 2016 Having proper rock masses characterization is of great importance in underground mining works to make the right decisions in terms of sustenance and other tasks like is the case of drilling and blasting. Here it is proposed the built of a geomechanical table based in the GSI through which to decide the drilling grid configuration applies for each rock ...
