Analysis of Small-Scale Laboratory Experiments of Deep-Based Structures

Abstract

Numerical simulations were performed in support of the SRI small- scale laboratory experiments of deep-based structures. The experiments, in which small cylinders of rock simulant SRI RMG 2C2 with lined tunnels were loaded statically and dynamically to represent deep-based structure response, were investigated analytically by use of the CRT/NONSAP nonlinear finite element computer code. The computer code, which employed refined material models for the rock simulant was used to simulate the SRI test procedure for both static and dynamic loading and the free-field (in-situ) behavior of deep-based structures.
