Progressive fracture and swelling of anisotropic rock masses around deep tunnels: a new floor heave mechanical mechanism
Floor heave disasters easily occur along tunnels in deeply buried, weak, anisotropic rock masses with high in situ stress. The previously presented floor heave mechanical models (buckling failure, shear disloc...
