Papers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply limit principles derived from the plastic analysis of steel structures to the masonry arch and make a simple analysis of the effect of travelling point loads on the safety of the arch.
344 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified and robust iterative algorithm is presented for the voussoir beam analogue, which includes an improved assumption for internal compression arch geometry, simplified displacement determination, support pressure and surcharge analysis and a corrected stabilizing moment in the two dimensional case.
180 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of residual tensile strength and boundary parallel relaxation on the failure process in underground hard rock mines with complex geometries and interacting openings is identified as a key controlling factor in groundfall occurrence.
158 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the significance of mechanical layering for blocky deformation around underground openings excavated through sedimentary rocks, based on an integration of geologically based discrete fracture models (GeoDFN) with the numerical discrete element method (DDA).
100 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of a voussoir hard rock beam roof is investigated by considering it to act as a symmetric flat arch with cracks at the abutments and at midspan.
