Geological and geotechnical surveys in tectonically active rock masses
Bhavsar, H.; Dinis, A.; Mira-Fernandes, E.; Paulino, F.; Antunes, P.; Melâneo, FredericoThe economic development of a region depends on the speed that people and goods can travel. The reduction of people and goods travel time can be achieved by planning smooth road layouts, which are obtained by crossing natural obstacles such as hills, by tunneling at great depths, and allowing the reduction of the road alignment length. The stress state in rock masses at such depths, either because of the overbu...
