Reliability assessment of ultimate limit state of twin caverns

Construction of a cavern in close proximity to an existing cavern modifies the state of stresses and movements in a zone around the existing cavern, as some degree of interaction between these two caverns generally takes place. This study investigates the interaction of two parallel caverns and the...
