Numerical studies on 2-D compressional wave propagation in jointed rock masses

An accidental explosion in an existing tunnel or an explosion in a borehole will generate compressional two-dimensional (2-D) wave that travels through the surrounding rock mass. Stability of the adjacent underground structures is affected by the peak particle velocity or peak particle acceleration...
