Research on the damage and seepage characteristics of unloading rock with high water pressure can help to further understand the mechanism of water inrush in deep mine and to take effective measures to prevent water inrush. In this paper, the finite element software RFPA2D-Flow was used to study the failure and seepage characteristics of unloading rock coupled with high water pressure and high stress. The effects of different water pressure on the failure of unloading rock and the law of seepage were investigated. The results show that the form of unloading rock failure without water pressure is brittle; however, the failure form of unloading rock with water pressure is obviously ductile failure, and the fracture is mainly concentrated at the bottom of the rock sample with high water pressure. During unloading, the seepage coefficient of rock increased with the increase of unloading amount until sudden jump occurs, and the failure form and permeability law of the rock with different water pressure were basically the same, but the larger the water pressure difference, the smaller the effective unloading capacity is needed when the permeability coefficient suddenly jumps, this shows that the larger the water pressure difference is, the more likely the rock mass will be damaged by water inrush under unloading condition.

In order to explore the catastrophic evolution process for karst cave water inrush in large buried depth and high water pressure tunnels, a model test system was developed, and a similar fluid–solid coupled material was found. A model of the catastrophic evolution of water inrush was developed based on the Xiema Tunnel, and the experimental section was simulated using the finite element method. By analyzing the interaction between groundwater and the surrounding rocks during tunnel excavation, the law of occurrence of water inrush disaster was summarized. The water inrush process of a karst cave containing high-pressure water was divided into three stages: the production of a water flowing fracture, the expansion of the water flowing fracture, and the connection of the water flowing fracture. The main cause of water inrush in karst caves is the penetration and weakening of high-pressure water on the surrounding rock. This effect is becoming more and more obvious as tunnel excavation progresses. The numerical simulation results showed that the outburst prevention thickness of the surrounding rock is 4.5 m, and that of the model test result is 5 m. Thus, the results of the two methods are relatively close to each other. This work is important for studying the impact of groundwater on underground engineering, and it is of great significance to avoid water inrush in tunnels.

Fractured rock mass, Hydraulic fracture, RFPA2D-Flow, Instability of the law. Abstract. Based on the theory of fluid-solid coupling, Studying on the effect of permeability about damage and stress, Analysis of influence factors what hydraulic fracturing process, fracture propagation pattern, and influencing factors including shape and magnitude of inlet hole, stress conditions, and specimen strength were investigated. Application of rock failure process analysis software coupled seepage-stress F-RFPA2D, numerical simulated rock water pressure to cause crack rupture instability process, research the fracture law of the rock on water pressure and vertical loading. Combine similar physical experiment model, contrast analysis of two broken results and stress-strain curve, reveals instability mechanical behavior of rock hydraulic fracture process. Obtain deep mining in the process of mine water seepage and water extrude, overburden rock crack up, expand, water seepage, water extrude, instability rupture process rules.
