21. Evaluation of rock mass strength criteria
Sammanfattning : Knowledge of the rock mass behaviour in general, the failure process and the strength in particular, is important for the design of all kinds of underground excavations. One of the most common ways of estimating the rock mass strength is by using a failure criterion. LÄS MER
22. Pure shear fracture of brittle rock : a theoretical and laboratory study
Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis deals with determination of Mode II fracture toughness, KIIc, for rock. Three types of specimens, antisymmetric four-point bending, direct shearing and compression-shear specimens, are experimentally and numerically investigated. LÄS MER
23. Post-failure behaviour of brittle rock
Sammanfattning : The study of the post-failure behaviour of brittle rocks in the laboratory needs stiff and servo-controlled testing machines. Yet, the problem is not completely solved unless a suitable feedback signal is created for the servo-loop of the testing machine. LÄS MER
24. Water powered percussive rock drilling : process analysis, modelling and numerical simulation
Sammanfattning : This thesis is devoted to problems, processes and systems related to the recently developed water powered percussive rock drilling method. The technology, which uses ordinary water to drive down-the-hole hammers, has been used to produce more than 6 million meters of blast holes within the mining industry. LÄS MER
25. The Underground as a Storage Facility. Modelling of Nuclear Waste Repositories and Aquifer Thermal Energy Stores
Sammanfattning : The underground is a vast region, which is, too a large extent, unused by man. It has a large potential as a storage facility due to its vastness and availability. This thesis, which consists of eleven papers and reports, deals with nuclear waste repositories in solid rock and with aquifer thermal energy storage systems. LÄS MER
