Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.A scientometric analysis of 2449 journal articles and a comprehensive review of 336 papers were conducted, discussing and identifying challenges and research gaps in rockburst prediction and prevention and proposing an ontology‐based framework for better decision‐making in underground excavations. Abstract With underground engineering projects becoming

Evaluation of hydropower upgrade projects - a real options approach [PDF]
When evaluating whether to refurbish existing hydropower plants or invest in a new power plant, there are two important aspects to take into consideration. These are the capacity chosen for the production facilities and the timing of the investment. This

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...

Deregulation of the Swiss Electricity Industry: Implication for the Hydropower Sector [PDF]
Although Switzerland is not a EU-member country, in December 1999 the Swiss Parliament adopted the new Swiss Electricity Market Law (EML). The EML laid the foundations for reforming the Swiss electricity industry by moving from regulation to deregulation.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.A novel shear‐lag model, validated by pull‐out tests, incorporates a constant bond stress stage to predict the complete load–displacement response of grouted rock bolts, providing a new tool for optimizing anchorage length and material toughness in deep underground engineering. Abstract The stability of rock masses in deep underground excavations, such
