Influence of geometrical imperfections and flaws at welds of steel liners on fatigue behavior of pressure tunnels and shafts in anisotropic rock

High-head steel lined pressure tunnels and shafts may be considered as critical infrastructures especially when rock overburden is small. In the case of lining failure, catastrophic damages can occur when a large amount of water can reach the steep valley ...

Petro-physical characterization of the Main Fault at the Mont Terri Laboratory

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza

Opalinus clay has been widely studied in the context of deep geological disposal. Its favourable hydro-mechanical properties made it a suitable material for the storage of nuclear waste. But the presence of tectonic systems within the clay formation arise ...

Stabilized Numerical Methods for Stochastic Differential Equations driven by Diffusion and Jump-Diffusion Processes

Adrian Blumenthal

Stochastic models that account for sudden, unforeseeable events play a crucial role in many different fields such as finance, economics, biology, chemistry, physics and so on. That kind of stochastic problems can be modeled by stochastic differential equat ...

Dilatant hardening of fluid-saturated sandstone

Roman Makhnenko

The presence of pore fluid in rock affects both the elastic and inelastic deformation processes, yet laboratory testing is typically performed on dry material even though in situ the rock is often saturated. Techniques were developed for testing fluid-satu ...

New Developments in Rock Fall Hazard Assessment and Zoning: An Application of the Cadanav Methodology

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Rock fall hazard assessment and zoning are very important for an appropriate land use planning in mountainous areas. However, they are complex topics, and current methodologies adopted for producing zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results, due to a ...

Pièces manquantes. Une salle de bain et une cuisine publiques dans le quartier du Vallon (Lausanne)

Lise Navallon, Noémie Wesolowski

Cher ami, ; ; Me voilà fraîchement installée dans le quartier du Vallon à Lausanne, à quelques pas du centre-ville. On s'y sent pourtant un peu à part et l'ambiance y est tout à fait singulière. L'autre jour j'ai participé au Festin du Vallon; un moment tr ...

New Cadanav methodology for quantitative rock fall hazard assessment and zoning at the local scale

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Rock fall hazard zoning is a challenging yet necessary task to be accomplished for planning an appropriate land use in mountainous areas. Methodologies currently adopted for elaborating zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results though, due to uncerta ...

Effects of rock mass anisotropy on deformations and stresses around tunnels during excavation

Anton Schleiss

rock mass where the in situ state of stress is uniform. The rock mass was assumed to behave elastically and two cases were examined: whether the rock mass has an isotropic elastic property or not. A two-dimensional plain strain elastic-plastic Jointed Rock ...

Influence of the geometry of partially-spanning joints on mechanical properties of rock in uniaxial compression

Jian Zhao

As jointed rocks consist of joints embedded within intact rock blocks, their behavior depends on the behaviors of the joints and the intact rock blocks. In a jointed rock, there are two levels of heterogeneity within the jointed rocks due to the difference ...
