... procedures should be performed to stabilize the slope and restart mining operation. To find solutions for the challenges, a comprehensive site investigation and monitoring was conducted to compare the primary and secondary discontinuity patterns, besides a three-dimensional discrete element modeling...

... ABSTRACT A site investigation is needed prior to any civil engineering construction. The results of this site investigation must lead to recognition of problems related to geology. If the problems related to the geology-structure interaction cannot be handled economically, the structure has...

... and emphasizes the need to select the most appropriate state-of-the-art technologies in site investigation, excavation, ground treatment and reinforcement in order to deliver a safe, cost-effective, and fit-for-purpose opening. The DUSEL will also include opportunities for earth scientists and engineers to study...

Because the existing buildings and infrastructure limited the site investigations and the installation of a monitoring system, special attention was paid to rock quality monitoring during construction. The rock quality mapped from the caverns proved to be slightly better in the western hall than...
