STRENGTH OF GEOMATERIALS: MULTISCALE THEORIES AND EXPERIMENTS AT APPROPRIATE PROBLEM-DEPENDENT LENGTH SCALES
Summary Quantification of the strength of geomaterials is often the key to effective solutions to problems in geoengineering. The scales where underlying processes are favorably studied and quantified may largely vary. We here consider two quite distinct cases, related to penetration resistance of gravel under rockfall, and to chemically driven strength growth in sprayed concrete (shotcrete), together with corresponding large-scale applications: rockfall protection of oil pipelines and tunneling according to the New Austrian Tunneling Method.
