Influence of Roughness Digitisation Error on Predictions of Discontinuity Shear Strength Open
A key component of the new stochastic approach for discontinuity shear strength (referred to as StADSS) is characterising the roughness of natural rock discontinuities at full scale to mitigate well-known scale effects on shear strength pr…

Conception and Execution: Critical Knowledge and its Construction in Alternative and Autonomous Media Open
Recent investigations of the alternative media landscape have mapped a variegated field of practices, theoretical orientations, forms and content. Amidst this pluralistic flourishing, Marxian influences remain central to several such proje…

Revisiting rock classification to estimate rock mass properties Open
This paper presents the results of ongoing research carried out by the author exploring methods to provide a more robust estimate of rock mass properties specifically for use in tunnel design. Data from various large-scale rock mass failur…

Hone the Means of Production: Craft Antagonism and Domination in the Journalistic Labour Process of Freelance Writers Open
The works of Karl Marx have been central to the formation of a body of critical communication scholarship in Canada. But as Nicole S. Cohen adeptly shows, the influence of Marx’s thought has been absent, mostly, as it relates to questions …

Back-analysing rock mass modulus from monitoring data of two tunnels in Sydney, Australia Open
This paper presents two case studies where the rock mass modulus and in situ stress are estimated from the monitoring data obtained during the construction of underground excavations in Sydney, Australia. The case studies comprise the wide…
