Abstract

This paper discusses the challenges of selecting representative ground support data to investigate the influence of reinforcement in design of underground excavations in hard rock. This is presented with reference to a limit equilibrium rigid wedge analysis. The case is made that the use of “typical” or “default” values introduces a significant degree of uncertainty which may not be always acknowledged. This is highlighted with reference to friction stabilizer data. The choice of reinforcement input data can have a significant impact on the interpretation of the results in any numerical analyses.
