Özet

The effect of opening size, rock properties and stress conditions on the radial displacements ahead and behind of the advancing face of a circular opening is one of the most important topics in civil and mining engineering. In this paper we develop a prediction system for radial displacements around the face of an opening by combining rock mass rating classification system, a three dimensional finite difference code and multiple regression modeling. Predictive equations and response surfaces for rock mass response are proposed. By using these equations and response surfaces, it is possible to assess radial displacements around the face and to construct the longitudinal deformation profile of a circular opening with different diameters excavated in weak rock mass under different stress conditions. The predictive equations were validated by means of statistical tests and analytical solution. Proposed response surfaces and equations can provide the basis of guiding the design and construction of underground openings. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
