The study of stresses around underground openings gives an insight into the basic mechanisms like displacements and the stress fields and helps to provide
STRESSES AROUND OPENINGS IN SOLID HOMOGENEOUS MATERIALS 11 1 Early Underground Stress Analysis 11 2 Theory of Elasticity Applied to Underground Mine
Generalized stress path that can lead to different modes of instability around underground openings Note that there are basically two stress paths: (1) loading
