Rock Mechanics
Sensitivity Analysis of Tunnel Excavation Damage Zone in Jointed Rock Masses: A DFN-DEM Approach

Mahan Amirkhani; Mojtaba Bahaaddini; Alireza Kargar; Amin Hekmatnejad

Articles in Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available Online from 02 June 2025

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2025.16037.3091

Abstract
  The stability of tunnels and underground openings in jointed rock masses is significantly influenced by the development an Excavation Damage Zone (EDZ), where discontinuities alter stress distribution and the fractured propagation zone. In previous studies on EDZ, rock mass is commonly considered as ...  Read More

Semi-Analytical Study of Settlement of Two Interfering Foundations Placed on a Slope

H. Haghgouei; A. Reza Kargar; M. H. Khosravi; M. Amini

Volume 12, Issue 2 , April 2021, , Pages 457-470

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2021.10509.2001

Abstract
  In many engineering constructions, the foundations should be built adjacent to each other. Therefore, the effect of interfering of close foundations should be considered in the design stage. In this research work, the effect of interference of closely separated foundations resting on a slope on the elastic ...  Read More

Rock Mechanics
Simulating energy method for grout-induced crack analysis of rock structures at Chadormalu mine by extended finite element method

S. Ali Madadi; A. Majdi; M. H. Khosravi; A.R. Kargar

Volume 9, Issue 4 , October 2018, , Pages 999-1008

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2018.7014.1543

Abstract
  Fracture mechanics is a vital component involved in studying the exact behavior of rock materials. Detection and assessment of the behavior of rock joints injected by grout plays an important role in numerical modelling in rock mechanic projects. The importance of mechanisms associated with initiation ...  Read More
