About this document

L12 BrittleFailure by Rogerio Dias is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses stress-induced brittle failure in geotechnical engineering, particularly focusing on spalling and rockbursting in underground excavations. It outlines the mechanisms of brittle failure, including the analysis of rock strength through phenomenological and mechanistic approaches, and emphasizes the importance of confining stress in mitigating such failures. Additionally, it provides examples of tunnel spalling and the implications for ground control in the context of nuclear waste dispo
