Sentence examples for large rock mass from inspiring English sources

This model is calibrated by a large rock mass database.

This chapter applies the permeability concept to an engineering problem involving the excavation of a large rock mass and predicts the associated change in permeability.

These simulations show that deleterious effects of acid gases from boiling pore waters at Yucca Mountain are not anticipated because very small amounts of acid gases are generated, that are quickly buffered by the comparatively large rock mass surrounding emplacement tunnels.

Figure 6c shows the stereographic projection of the collected field survey structural data: five main discontinuity sets were identified, JN3 set in particular, including high persistent decimetric-spaced discontinuity planes (=exfoliation joints, EJ) dipping parallel with respect to the slope, represent slipping planes isolating large rock mass portions.

Large rock masses displaced.

The explicit NMM is more suitable for large-scale rock mass stability analysis and it deserves to be further developed for engineering computations in rock engineering.

Geotechnical analysis of large-scale rock mass behaviour also indicates that the failures do not happen at random and are not unpredictable in terms of the type of failure and its location.

For example, vulcanian eruptions usually eject large amounts of rock mass, tephra, and volcanic ash.

Construction of engineered projects, such as underground spaces, tunnels, machine halls etc. is connected with variations in stress-state and deformations of large volumes of rock mass.

Existing experiences in excavation and support cannot deal with the large deformation of rock mass effectively, and further studies are needed.

The combination of seismic tomography and laboratory measurements allowed extrapolation of important parameters over a large volume of rock mass, otherwise only representative of small rock samples near boreholes.
