In rock engineering design, significant advances have occurred in recent years in numerical
modelling capability with increasing trends to ever greater use of synthetic rock mass …

Use of the geological strength index (GSI) rock mass classification system and the
associated m, s and a parameter relationships linking GSI with the Hoek–Brown failure …

Flysch formations are generally characterised by evident heterogeneity in the presence of
low strength and tectonically disturbed structures. The complexity of these geological …

The trend today to ever increasing modelling sophistication demands that much more
attention be paid by practitioners to achieving better appreciation and characterization of …

The paper deals with the geotechnical classification of weak and complex rock masses. The
complexity of these geological material demands a more specialized research and …

In the last few decades a rapid development in almost all stages of geotechnical design for
tunnels can be discerned. Analysis and computational methods are fields in which …

A methodology for designing a tunnel support system according to the actual ground
conditions and the critical behaviour types is analysed in this paper. The methodology is …

In rock engineering design significant advances have occurred in recent years in numerical
modelling capability. Better and more advanced insight is now possible of rock-support …

Existing experience from the design and construction of underground works is of major
importance for the improvement of the construction methods and procedures in tunnelling …

Flysch deposits are common in Serbia. Approximately 15% of the 250 km of highways
currently under construction will be constructed in flysch. In the most southern part of the E80 …
