Study on Tunneling in Rock Masses with Inclined Layers Using Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA)
By J. -H. Wu, S. Nishiyama, Y. Ohnishi
The behaviors and stress distributions of the inclined jointed rock masses with different dip angles obtained from DDA are compared to the results of laboratory tests. By calculating the block stress

A quantitative evaluation of the load bearing capacity of ground and characteristic curves of tunneling
By T. Nishimura, H. Kiyama, K. Wakimoto
Discussion on the load bearing capacity of ground and the stability of tunnel is presented. We derive a simplified solution of a circular lined-tunnel in an elastic ground. The solution results in a b

Design Concepts And Support Considerations For Highly Stressed Tunnels In Deep Hard-Rock Mines
By C. R. Speers, M. I. Forsyth
The paper describes how stress analyses were used to show the defect of a tunnel's shape on the overstressing potential of its periphery. The best profile was found to be that of a horizontal ell
