Purpose. Empirical and numerical methods play a vital role in assessing rock mass behaviour quantitatively qualitatively to design underground structures/caverns support systems. This research aims assess evaluate the be-haviour for safe, stable, efficient, economical of system structures especially tunnels diverse conditions. Methods. In this research, such empirical as Rock Mass Rating (RMR),...

Virtual Reality (VR) consists of creating spaces similar to reality where the viewer interacts more or less in a digital world. This world can be programmed so that geosciences student takes data as if it were field trip. The VR save money, logistical problems and avoid accessing unsafe places. Besides, students access places would otherwise require veritable expedition (hydroelectric projects ...

The difference in formation process between binary stars and planetary systems is reflected in their composition as well as their orbital architecture, particularly orbital eccentricity as a function of orbital period. It is suggested here that this difference can be used as an observational criterion to distinguish between brown dwarfs and planets. Application of the orbital criterion suggests...

Detailed geological, engineering geological and geotechnical assessment are prerequisites for any design works in underground excavation. Due to complex geology young Himalayan, it is mandatory. Any misjudgment support may results huge losses of cost time the project. This paper encompasses detailed analysis carried out examining rock mass properties optimum along a pressurized headrace tunnel ...
