Probabilistic modeling of excavation-induced damage depth around rock-excavated tunnels

The cracked zones caused by tunnel excavations are among the major reasons for structural instability in mechanized tunnel projects. Thus, various methods have been proposed to evaluate such cracks in terms of size and depth. However, deterministic estimations have been associated with a margin of e...
