MG EN 5160 Rock Mechanics Applications
Objective: In Lab #5 you write spreadsheet code to develop safety factors for circular and elliptical
unlined shafts using the stress concentration equations along with the various premining stress states.
You will need to verify that your code is running correctly by comparing it to known solutions from
example problems given in the text book and then use your spreadsheet to solve the last problem.
General Guidelines: Develop your spreadsheet so that intermediate steps can be checked against known
solutions. Show each test case in a separate tab so that you can document your work. As before, write
your code to solve problems in both English and metric units
