... information is essential in rock engineering and engineering geology as well as in hydrogeology. Tunnels and boreholes often provide the main sources of data from which fractures are characterized. However, those data are still underutilized [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9]. Recently researchers and engineers...

... engineering has proceeded more slowly than in other branches of en- gineering, due in part to difficulties in defining the constitutive behavior of rock masses, but also to the very different way in which the design problem is posed in rock engineering. Early attempts to adapt classical analytical solutions...
