Stability Analysis of Lava Tunnels on Santa Cruz Island (Galapagos Islands, Ecuador) Using Rock Mass Classifications: Empirical Approach and Numerical Modeling
The cavities or lava tubes in the Galapagos Islands were formed by the differential cooling of the basaltic flow of the volcanoes surrounding these islands. In this article, a stability analysis was carried out to determine the degree of safety of different lava tubes using three methods: two empiri...
