Durability Study of Malaysia Rock Mass for Tunnelling Construction
The weathering, faults, shear zones, and thrust zones that have formed in igneous and metamorphic rocks in Malaysia make the compressive strengths less than 50�MPa. These factors make the development of rock energy tunnels in Malaysia a complex process. Malaysia�s rapid expansion and population grow...
