Time-Dependent Damage Investigation of Rock Mass in an In Situ Experimental Tunnel
In underground tunnels or caverns, time-dependent deformation or failure of rock mass, such as extending cracks, gradual rock falls, etc., are a costly irritant and a major safety concern if the time-dependent damage of surrounding rock is serious. To understand the damage evolution of rock mass in underground engineering, an in situ experimental testing was carried out in a large belowground t...
متن کاملAn 'in Situ' Coring Technique for Estimating the Population Size of House Dust Mites in Their Natural Habitat
An in situ core sampling method was used to obtain absolute population density estimates for the mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus Trouessart (Acari : Pyroglyphidae) in the mattress habitat. At the 95 % fiducial limit the numbers of D. pteronyssinus in the top 1.5 cm of substrata were 8,200-26,800 mites m• Mite densities that were calculated from vacuum samples of the same habitat underestim...
متن کاملIn situ and induced stresses
Rock at depth is subjected to stresses resulting from the weight of the overlying strata and from locked in stresses of tectonic origin. When an opening is excavated in this rock, the stress field is locally disrupted and a new set of stresses are induced in the rock surrounding the opening. Knowledge of the magnitudes and directions of these in situ and induced stresses is an essential compone...
متن کاملTuned Mass Dampers for Earthquake Vibrations of High-rise Buildings using Bee Colony Optimization Technique
This paper investigates the application of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) method for the optimization of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) employed for high-rise structures including Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). The model is a 40-story building, and Newmark method is utilized for the structure response to Bam earthquake data. The objective is to decrease both maximum displacement and accelerati...
متن کاملCouple stresses and the fracture of rock.
An assessment is made here of the role played by the micropolar continuum theory on the cracked Brazilian disc test used for determining rock fracture toughness. By analytically solving the corresponding mixed boundary-value problems and employing singular-perturbation arguments, we provide closed-form expressions for the energy release rate and the corresponding stress-intensity factors for bo...
