Die folgenden Ausfiihrungen behandeln die Absehatzung der Seitendruek ziffer A fiir den Orange-Fish-Tunnel in Siidafrika. 3 Der Tunnel solI eine Wassermenge von 50 m /see vom Verwoerd-Stausee des Orange-River in das Gebiet des grofSen Fish-River bringen, urn dieses zu bewassern. Die Gesamtlange des Tunnels betragt etwa 85 km, der Ausbruehsdureh messer 6 m. Der Orange-Fish-Tunnel dureh6rtert eine im geologischen Sinne ruhige Landschaft. Er liegt im Karroo-Becken, welches von Sedimenten, vorwiegend Sandsteinen, Sehluffsteinen und Steinmergeln gefii11t ist. Die Ablagerungen sind dureh einen haufigen Weehsel dieser Gesteins arten sowohl in horizontaler wie in vertikaler Erstreckung gekennzeiehnet und werden von Dolerit-Intrusionen durehadert. Der Tunnel wird von mehreren Orten zugleieh vorgetrieben. Yom Ein lafSbauwerk aus, von sieben Zugangssehaehten und vom AuslafSbauwerk aus. Es war vorgesehen, den Tunnel mit einem rasehen Vortrieb aufzufahren. Ober weite Strecken (etwa 85 %) des Tunnels war eine geringfiigige, provi sorische Sicherung durch Anker sowie eine endgiiltige Betonauskleidung von etwa 23 em Dicke vorgesehen (diese fiir die ganze Tunnellange). Beim Tunnelvortrieb sind jedoeh unerwartete Sehwierigkeiten aufgetre ten, und auch in der betonierten endgiiltigen Auskleidung stellten sich Risse ein, die nicht erwartet worden waren. 2. Abschatzung der Seitendruckziffer aus der Geologischen Vorgeschichte Yom Kenntnisstand des Untertagebaues zum Zeitpunkt der Projektierung des Orange-Fish-Tunnel ausgehend ist zu sagen, dafS in etwa mit A-Werten im Bereich von 0,25 bis 1,2 zu rechnen war.

Book Description
Stability of underground excavations is of great importance to an operating mine because it ensures the safety of the working people and operating equipment, and successful ore production. Due to the complex geological conditions and mine constructions, and variability and uncertainty in estimating rock mass mechanical properties, the assessment of rock mass stability for an underground mine is extremely challenging and difficult. Tackling of this difficult problem is not covered in detail in any of the textbooks currently available in the rock mechanics literature. This monograph aims to cover this gap in the rock mechanics and rock engineering field. This monograph provides detailed procedures for the stability assessment and support design for an underground mine case study. It covers the background of the mine site including the monitored deformation data, the state-of-art methodologies for the stability analysis of rock masses around underground excavations, performed laboratory tests, estimation of the rock mass properties, a brief theory and background of the 3-D Distinct Element Code (3DEC), and numerical modeling of underground rock mass stability including investigation of the effectiveness of rock supports. The monograph is an excellent reference for the senior undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and practitioners who work in the Underground Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering area in the Mining Engineering, Civil Geotechnical Engineering and DEM (Distinct Element Method) Numerical modeling.

Book Description
Rock mechanics is a field of applied science which has become recognised as a coherent engineering discipline within the last two decades. It consists of a body of knowledge of the mechanical properties of rock, various techniques for the analysis of rock stress under some imposed perturbation, a set of established principles expressing rock mass response to load, and a logical methodology for applying these notions and techniques to real physical prob lems. Some of the areas where application of rock mechanics concepts have been demonstrated to be of industrial value include surface and subsurface construction, mining and other methods of mineral recovery, geothermal energy recovery and subsurface hazardous waste isolation. In many cases, the pressures of industrial demand for rigour and precision in project or process design have led to rapid evolution of the engineering discipline, and general improvement in its basis in both the geosciences and engineering mechanics. An intellectual commitment in some outstanding research centres to the proper development of rock mechanics has now resulted in a capacity for engineering design in rock not conceivable two decades ago. Mining engineering is an obvious candidate for application of rock mechanics principles in the design of excavations generated by mineral extrac tion. A primary concern in mining operations, either on surface or underground, is loosely termed 'ground control', i. e.

Book Description
Rock mechanics is a first course in the field of mining and geotechnical engineering. Over the last decades, the concepts and applications of rock mechanics have evolved tremendously for understanding the stability and safety of structures made of/on the rock masses. This book elaborates the fundamental concepts of rock mechanics for designing and analysis of structures and excavations for a variety of applications. The text includes a fine blend of theory and worked-out examples and applications, and also emphasises the basics of stress and strain analysis, volume–weight relationship, rock mass classification systems, in situ stress measurements, stresses around underground opening, pillar and support design, subsidence, slope stability, rock failure criteria and behaviour of jointed rock mass. Numerical analysis procedures and interaction between rock bolts and rock masses are also introduced emphasising the mechanics and applications in rock engineering. Besides undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil (including geotechnical), mining and petroleum engineering, the book will also benefit the practicing engineers and researchers, who wish to acquaint themselves with state-of-the-art techniques of rock mechanics and its applications. Overall, this textbook is useful for both elementary as well as advanced learning.

Book Description
This new edition has been completely revised to reflect the notable innovations in mining engineering and the remarkable developments in the science of rock mechanics and the practice of rock angineering taht have taken place over the last two decades. Although "Rock Mechanics for Underground Mining" addresses many of the rock mechanics issues that arise in underground mining engineering, it is not a text exclusively for mining applications. Based on extensive professional research and teaching experience, this book will provide an authoratative and comprehensive text for final year undergraduates and commencing postgraduate stydents. For profesional practitioners, not only will it be of interests to mining and geological engineers, but also to civil engineers, structural mining geologists and geophysicists as a standard work for professional reference purposes.
