<p>In situ heating test was conducted in an underground cavern at a depth of 50m for the purpose of improving thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled analysis code, and numerical results were compared with measured results. The comparison between numerical and measured ...

<p>In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the deformation and moisture transfer behaviour of Shirahama sandstone using small cylindrical samples.</p>

<p>The effective stress law for the permeability of a limestone is studied experimentally by performing constant head permeability tests in a triaxial cell with different conditions of confining pressure and pore pressure pf.</p>

This paper presents the result of comparisons between the modulus of deformation obtained from dilatometer tests and the geomechanical quality of the rock mass using the RMR classification ant the basic intact rock properties such as the uniaxial compressive ...

<p>This manual presents a procedure for describing rock core samples, obtained for the New York State Department of Transportation, by State work forces and/or private drilling companies, for foundation, rockslope, and other engineering purposes. The evaluation ...

This paper shows the results of borehole ovalisation analysis, developed to predict the natural stress field by means of the study of the deformation in vertical boreholes.
