STRAIN DISTRIBUTION AROUND UNDERGROUND OPENINGS. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF UNDERGROUND OPENINGS.

Abstract

As a part of the total effort to determine if the finite element method of analysis will permit prediction of safe spans for existing and proposed underground openings, it was the objective of this study to use existing and slightly modified continuum models, employing the finite element method, for prediction of stresses around and displacements within underground openings.
