  1. 1. Adapted data collection in field utilizing RMR and the Q-system

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Amanda Olsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Rock mass classification; Q-slope; SMR; Slope stability;

    Abstract : The focus on slope stability has increased rapidly in Norway over the last years due to several unwanted landslides. In Norway, the most used method today to classify the rock mass and to determine the required reinforcement, is the Q-system. In addition to that the RMR method is also a commonly used method.

  3. 2. Rock Wedge Stability Assessment : A Comparative Analysis of Limit Equilibrium and Discrete Element Methods

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Vilma Nordh; [2024]
    Keywords : Numerical modelling; wedge stability; 3DEC; UnWedge;

    Abstract : Rock wedge stability is a common concern in underground excavations. Since the wedge stability influences the support design, it is important to use a wedge stability analysis method that can capture factors like excavation geometry, joint parameters and properties, rock mass properties, rock cover, and stress field as accurately as possible.

  4. 3. Investigation of Influential Contexts on Mining-front Seismicity at Kiirunavaara Mine

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

    Author : Bernardo Filizzola; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mining at great depths has become the reality for the mining industry in Sweden, that faces challenges in terms of increasing seismic events and sometimes intrinsically related rock mass failure. Kiirunavaara mine is owned by LKAB (located at north Sweden) and the company has been dealing with seismicity in a daily basis once the mine has been regarded as seismically active since 2007-2008 and presently has the largest seismic monitoring system in the world.

  5. 4. Analysis of rock grouting with variable injection pressure

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Zhuohang Lian; [2022]
    Keywords : Rock engineering; Rock grouting; Variable injection pressure; Dynamic grouting technique;

    Abstract : Rock grouting is an effective technique frequently used in rock engineering to reduce  groundwater ingress and increase the stability of surrounding rock mass. The real time grouting control (RTGC) is one of widely used  analytical models to predict the grouting process. READ MORE

  6. 5. Back analysis of rock mass properties in the regional fault zone under Lake Mälaren

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Jiaqi Liu; [2022]
    Keywords : Rock mass property; back analysis; tunnel deformation; optimization algorithm; numerical analysis; Bergmassans egenskaper; bakåtanalys; tunnleldeformation; optimeringingsalgoritm; numeriska analyser.;

    Abstract : The properties of the surrounding rock mass in underground projects have significant impacts on the design and construction. However, it is quite challenging to evaluate rock mass properties due to the great uncertainties of the geological conditions. READ MORE
