Coupled hydromechanical modelling of surface subsidence in crystalline rock masses due to tunnel drainageBy C. Zangerl, K. F. Evans, S. Loew
ABSTRACT: Settlements above fractured crystalline rock masses are rarely observed and in the past, geotechnical engineers would not expect substantial subsidence to occur in association with a deep tu

Effects of anisotropy and heterogeneity of rock mass on in-situ permeability testsBy Y. Mitani, M. Zhang, M. Takeda, T. Esaki
Despite their inadequacy, assumptions of isotropy and homogeneity are often applied to the analyses of in situ permeability tests. In this paper, we exam the effects of anisotropy and heterogeneity on
