CASE HISTORY OF EAST TENNESSEE KARST, STATIC STABILITY OF SOME SHALLOW CAVES (2001)
A case history of a static evaluation of some shallow caves in the karstic geologic region of East Tennessee is presented. The evaluation consists of three parts: (1) characterization of the bedrock voids and openings, (2) rock characterization, and (3) finite ...

GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCEMENT ABOVE SINKHOLES TO PROTECT LANDFILL LINERS (2001)
Even though the model presented in this paper requires further refinement and improvement, FLAC modeling offers a promising approach for the evaluation of geosynthetic reinforcement above sinkholes where strains within the overlying materials is of concern, ...

GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING OF A SHALLOW KARST BEDROCK SITE (2001)
A site with shallow karst bedrock is characterized for engineering purposes by examination and testing of rock samples and by classification of the rock mass according to the RMR system. For all of the rock samples, an RMR of 65 was assigned. For the cave ...
