Modelling of Discontinuous Environment

Article Preview

Abstract:

Deformation process and strength of rock environment is significantly influenced by a presence of discontinuity planes. The paper deals with experimental modeling of underground structures in such a rock environment. Parametric analysis presents results from twin circular tunnels simulated in a scale model. The cases with and without zone of dislocations in between the tunnels were observed. Another variable factor studied was the distance between tunnels. The relation between model surface displacement and excavated length of the tunnel, which was monitored during the simulations, was used for mutual comparison of individual cases.
