Veined Rock Performance under Uniaxial and Triaxial Compression Using Calibrated Finite Element Numerical Models

Geotechnical rockmass characterization is a key task for design of underground and open pit excavations. Hydrothermal veins influence excavation performance by contributing to stress-driven rockmass failure. This study investigates the effects of vein orientation and thickness on stiffness and peak...
