Early engineering works (1900s) assumed that rock was infinitely strong (T/F) - answer-True What is the name of the phenomenon, typical of very deep mining, that describes rock effectively "imploding" in the excavation? - answer-Rockburst Photo-elasticity was used in the early days of rock engineering to look at how stresses were redistributed around an excavation. In terms of mechanical behaviour of rock masses, what was the underlying assumption of that technique. - answer-Rock masses ...
