Scaled Down Tunnel Testing for Comparison of Surface Support Performance

A number of scaled down tunnels were prepared and tested to understand stress induced failures around underground excavations and surface support performance following violent failure. The experiment results corresponded well with full scale size tunnels. The failure mechanisms were examined and fai...
