Abstract

The article deals with the stress and strain assessment in anisotropic rock mass in the vicinity of a lateral opening. The authors carry out numerical calculations for sets of elastic constants for orthotropic and transversally isotropic bodies and show that integrating and including more elastic constants allows keener estimation of load distribution in a stratified rock mass whereas minimum constant pool is enough for quality modeling.
