DOI: 10.1016/j.enggeo.2019.105209
Abstract: Abstract Sandstone (hard rock) and siltstone (relative soft rock) appeared alternately during tunnel boring machine (TBM) excavation of two headrace tunnels at the Neelum–Jhelum hydropower station in Pakistan. Rockbursts occurred frequently near these sandstone-siltstone interfaces,… read more here.
