AbstractThe problem of cavity stability widely exists in deep underground engineering and energy exploitation. First, the stress field of the surrounding rock under the uniform stress field is deduced based on a post-peak strength drop model considering the rock’s characteristics of constant modulus and double moduli. Then, the orthogonal non-associative flow rule is used to establish the displacement of the surrounding rock under constant modulus and double moduli, respectively, considering the stiffness degradation and dilatancy effects in the plastic region and assuming that the elastic strain in the plastic region satisfies the elastic constitutive relationship. Finally, the evolution of the displacement in the surrounding rock is analyzed under the effects of the double moduli characteristics, the strength drop, the stiffness degradation, and the dilatancy. The results show that the displacement solutions of the surrounding rock under constant modulus and double moduli have a unified expression. The coefficients of the expression are related to the stress field of the original rock, the elastic constant of the surrounding rock, the strength parameters, and the dilatancy angle. The strength drop, the stiffness degradation, and the dilatancy effects all have effects on the displacement. The effects can be characterized by quantitative relationships.

Past studies on deep-lying tunnels under the assumption of plane strain have generally neglected the influence of intermediate principal stress even though this affects the surrounding rocks in the plastic zone. This study proposes a finite difference method to compute the stress strain plastic region and displacement of a tunnel based on the Drucker–Prager (D–P) yield criterion and non-associated flow rule and considering the influences of intermediate principal stress and the strain-softening behavior of surrounding rock. The computed results were compared with those of other well-known solutions and the accuracy and validity of the method were confirmed through some examples. Parameter analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of intermediate principal stress on stress-strain, the plastic region, the ground response curve, and the dilatability of surrounding rock. The results showed that the plastic radius , the residual radius , and radial displacement of surrounding rock first decreased and then increased with increasing intermediate principal stress coefficient b from 0 to 1, with the minimums occurring at b = 0.75. On the contrary, the peak and rate of variation of the dilatancy coefficient first increased and then decreased with increasing b and the dilatancy coefficient gradually transitioned from nonlinear to linear variation. Meanwhile, the inhibition of the plastic radius and radial displacement gradually weakened with increasing support pressure, whereas the dilatancy coefficient of the tunnel opening gradually increased.

In order to clarify the influence of anchor bolts on the supporting effect of the layered weak roof and surrounding rock of nonlayered roof with good integrity, the mechanical model of the roadway with nonlayered homogeneous roof and layered weak roof was established using FLAC3D. The distribution characteristics of the stress field and the displacement field of the bolt support are analyzed, and the supporting effect of the bolt on the roof of two types of roadways is studied. The research results show that when the original rock stress is not considered, the bolt support shows obvious tensile, compressive stress areas and positive and negative displacement areas in the surrounding rock of the roof of the roadway; when the original rock stress is taken into account, the tensile and compressive stress zones and the positive and negative displacement zones of the anchor support in the surrounding rock of the roof plate disappear obviously. The effect of the bolt support on the stress field and plastic area of the surrounding rock of the two types of roadway roof is not obvious. However, it has a significant effect on suppressing discontinuous deformation such as delamination and sliding between layered roof rocks. The delamination phenomenon between rock layers disappeared obviously, and the range of each numerical curve of the displacement field of the surrounding rock in the anchoring area was significantly reduced. However, the effect of the anchor support on continuous deformation control such as elastoplastic deformation of roof rock of nonlayered roadway is very limited. There is almost no change in the displacement field curve in the depth of the roof-surrounding rock. Only the shallow surrounding rock displacement field curve range has decreased.

Abstract In this study, elastoplastic model for the surrounding rock of axisymmetric circular tunnel is investigated under three-dimensional (3D) principal stress states. Novel numerical solutions for strain-softening surrounding rock were first proposed based on the modified 3D Hoek–Brown criterion and the associated flow rule. Under a 3D axisymmetric coordinate system, the distributions for stresses and displacement can be effectively determined on the basis of the redeveloped stress increment approach. The modified 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion is also embedded into finite element software to characterize the yielding state of surrounding rock based on the modified yield surface and stress renewal algorithm. The Euler implicit constitutive integral algorithm and the consistent tangent stiffness matrix are reconstructed in terms of the 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion. Therefore, the numerical solutions and finite element method (FEM) models for the deep buried tunnel under 3D principal stress condition are presented, so that the stability analysis of surrounding rock can be conducted in a direct and convenient way. The reliability of the proposed solutions was verified by comparison of the principal stresses obtained by the developed numerical approach and FEM model. From a practical point of view, the proposed approach can also be applied for the determination of ground response curve of the tunnel, which shows a satisfying accuracy compared with the measuring data.

According to the strain-softening characteristics of rock mass, an ideal elastic strain-softening model is developed, and the surrounding rock of tunnels is subdivided into the plastic broken zone, plastic strain-softening zone, and elastic zone. Based on the generalized spatially mobilized plane criterion, an elastic-plastic analytical solution of a circular tunnel is derived. The effects of intermediate principal stress, strain softening, and dilatancy are considered in the unified solution. The stress, displacement, and plastic zone radius of surrounding rock based on the SMP criterion are compared with those based on the Mohr–Coulomb criterion. Furthermore, the effects of parameters such as the softening modulus, dilatancy angle, and internal friction angle on the deformation and stress of tunnels are discussed. It has been found that the larger the dilatancy angle is, the larger the plastic zone displacement and the radius of the broken zone are. The larger the internal friction angle, the smaller the sizes of the plastic zone, the strain-softening zone, and the broken zone are. The deformation of surrounding rock in the broken zone is more sensitive to the internal friction angle than that in the strain-softening zone. The unified solution based on the SMP criterion provides a well understanding for the elastic-plastic state of tunnels, which can be the guidance for tunnel excavations and support designs.

In situ stress is the direct cause of roadway deformation and failure in the process of deep mining activities. The measured data of in situ stress in the Shuanghe coal mine show that the maximum principal stress is 44.94~50.61 MPa, and the maximum principal stress direction is near horizontal direction, which belongs to tectonic stress field. The maximum horizontal principal stress is 1.66~1.86 of the vertical stress. The horizontal principal stress controls the deep stress field. According to the measured data of in situ stress, the high-strength prestress bolt and cable collaborative support form is designed in the Shuanghe coal mine. Based on the stress field research of bolt and cable, the optimal prestress ratio of bolt and cable is proposed as 3. When the prestress ratio of bolt and cable is constant, the smaller the length ratio of bolt and cable is, the better the effect of prestressed field formed by cooperative support is. The results are applied to the support design of the mining roadway in the Shuanghe coal mine. Through the field monitoring test results, it is found that the maximum roof subsidence is 86 mm, the maximum floor deformation is 52 mm, and the maximum deformation of two sides is 125 mm. The surrounding rock control effect of the roadway is good, and the surrounding rock deformation conforms to the engineering technology standard requirements. The research results of this paper can provide some reference for the surrounding rock support of high ground stress mining roadway under similar conditions.

Since deformations of tunnel nearly mined area are larger, the reasonable support is very important. According to a side working face tunnel nearly mined area in one Mine, FLAC 2D was applied to numerical analyze on two type bolt net supported tunnel of “short bolt and long anchor cable” and “full anchor cable”. The results showed as follows: (1) plastic region of surrounding rock relatively large, which supported by short bolt and long anchor cable. Displacement reaches 27cm, the effect of this type supporting not significant; (2) The supporting of full anchor cable can effectively control deformation of tunnel, displacement less than 5cm, plastic region of surrounding rock also less than 2.3m. So, the supporting of full anchor cable can meet operating requirements.

Long-span and bifurcation tunnel engineering is not very common in underground engineering field. It is difficult to construct this complicated structure because of the numerous influencing factors. In order to find out the optimum construction method for long-span and bifurcation tunnel to guarantee construction security and stabilization of this project, six construction methods were compared and analyzed by using numerical simulation. The results show that: (1) The excavation of confluence segment and small interval tunnel can affect each other but the confluence segment is the crucial part of the whole project. (2) The vertical brace determines surrounding rock and preliminary support stabilization in confluence segment. (3) The central concrete between main tunnel and ramp tunnel is the key point to guarantee the construction security and stabilization of small interval tunnel. The above results certainly contribute to research and develop new types of construction methods for long-span and bifurcation tunnel engineering.
