The design and analysis of rock engineering projects in complex rock masses requires a careful consideration of the rockmass conditions and ground properties. Such cases are encountered in anisotropic rockmasses, stratified layered rocks, tectonised rocks, mixed ground conditions and soft rocks. Instabilities are generally either structurally or stress controlled, depending on the rock mass setting and in-situ stress conditions. Factors such as the scale effect and the quality of the rockmass should be carefully considered in slope design and underground excavations.
The lecture will present design approaches in difficult rock engineering problems demonstrated through case study examples from slope design and underground excavations in projects in Europe and Asia.
