Performance based support design for horseshoe-shaped rock caverns using 2D numerical analysis

Excavation in rock may change the stress field and induce excavation damaged zones (EDZ) in the surrounding rock mass. To consider the development of the EDZ, the support design could be evaluated using the convergence-confinement method (CCM). In this paper, an efficient approach is proposed to eva...
