... the track substructure is built on a jointed rock mass. The present study introduces an analytical solution for estimating the ground stresses arising from moving wheel loads, causing a change in the three-dimensional stress state in the track formation, in relation to the stress variation with depth...

...Y. Jiao; J. A. Hudson In this paper, a methodology called 'mechanism pathway analysis' (MPA) is introduced. The methodology has been developed to support rock engineering design and treats rock engineering as a system, considering all the mechanisms simultaneously operating in the system and how...
