Surrounding Rock Stress

With the excavation towards the intersecting tunnels’ direction, the impact on the surrounding rock stress between the two tunnels will gradually decrease, but how it decreased is not clear. At present, engineers often directly superimpose the stress in the triangular area of the crossing tunnel when calculating the stress in this area (single-hole superposition theory). The theory is also used as the main theory to consider the surrounding rock stress for support which is difficult to explain the situation of nonuniform cross-section centers not in the same plane. The safety level of support is mainly determined by construction experience which is unable to determine how to adjust the support level with the increase in the horizontal distance of intersecting tunnel, causing the insufficient utilization of materials. This paper derives theoretically the stress calculation of the triangular area of circular cross tunnels with different cross sections and analyzes the surrounding rock stress law of the intersecting tunnels triangular area from different cross-section dimensions (the difference in diameter between the two tunnels is twice, 3 times, and 4 times) and different intersection angles. And the results show that, compared with the case of equal tunnel diameters, the stress influence area of the surrounding rock in the triangle area mainly expands to the side of the small section with the increase of the cross-section difference of the intersecting tunnels; the dangerous area of the surrounding rock in the triangle area moves vertically to the small section; the safest condition is the two tunnels with 90° intersecting angle. The theoretical calculation model of this paper is verified by the previous research results.

The surrounding rock stress field monitor has been done in excavation by vibrating wire transducer. The field monitoring data are compared with numerical simulation results. The result shows: Vibrating wire transducer can record the stress variation of surrounding rock and support. Surrounding rock stress changes violently at every excavation step, such as lower bench excavation, the stress variation is mainly controlled by the spatial effect. When the distance from excavation face to the monitoring section is more than a tunnel diameter, the rock stress variation is mainly affected by time and it is relatively smooth and continuous.

Surrounding Rock Stress

In order to further explore the deformation and failure essence of the deep coal body, based on the characteristics of surrounding rock stress adjustment before and after solid coal roadway excavation, an experiment of unloading confining pressure and loading axial pressure of the coal body was designed and conducted in this study. Based on test results, the failure mechanics and energy characteristics of the coal body were analyzed through experiments. Rapid unloading is considered a key factor contributing to lateral deformation and expansion failure, which exacerbates the deterioration of coal body and reduces the deformation energy storage capacity of coal. On the other hand, the larger loading rate tends to shorten the accumulation time of microcracks and cause damage to the coal body, resulting in strengthening the coal body and improving energy storage. Under the circumstance that the coal body is destroyed, the conversion rates of the internal deformation energy and dissipated energy are more significantly affected by unloading rate. The increasing unloading rate and rapid decreases in the conversion rate of deformation energy make the coal body more vulnerable to damage. Under the same stress conditions, the excavation unloading is more likely to deform, destroy, or even throw the coal than the experiment unloading. In order to reduce or avoid the occurrence of deep roadway excavation accidents, the understanding of the excavation unloading including possible influencing factors and the monitoring of the surrounding rock stress and energy during the excavation disturbance should be strengthened. It can be used as the basis for studying the mechanism of deformation and failure of coal and rock and dynamic disasters in deep mines, as well as the prediction, early warning, prevention, and control of related dynamic disasters.

Surrounding Rock Stress

The stress concentration of gob-side entry surrounding rock is a hot topic in coal mining. In this paper, through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the pressure relief mechanism of the gob-side entry retaining by roof cutting and pressure release (RCPR) and the spatiotemporal development law of surrounding rock stress of the gob-side entry were analyzed. The studies showed that the gob-side entry retaining by RCPR shortened the length of the lateral cantilever by directional roof cutting, which weakened the stress level of the gob-side entry. In the meantime, the goaf gangues could play a good filling role by using their breaking and swelling characteristics under the action of gangue-blocking supports and further optimized the stress environment along the roadway. Field industrial tests verified that the gob-side entry retaining by RCPR had a significant effect on pressure relief, and the surrounding rock stress and deformation tended to stabilize after about 160 m of lagging working face. Numerical analysis reproduced the whole process of “mining-retention-using” of roof cutting roadway and revealed that surrounding rocks were always in the zone of relative stress reduction during the whole process. The peak value of mining-induced lateral stress was about 10 m away from the middle point of the gob-side entry. The change of surrounding rock stress could be divided into three stages: significant increase, dynamic adjustment, and stable stage. However, during the second mining, the stress connected zone would appear on the leading working face, and the stress concentration in this zone was significant. Based on the above analysis, we concluded that the new technology could be applied to the medium-thickness coal seam in the composite roof.

Simulation has been done on the character of surrounding rock stress and deformation distribution and supporting structure force of three different schemes by FLAC3D. Finally optimal scheme is the third scheme. The application result show that anchor-net-cable support combined with anchor grouting support has got a good effect. The large deformation of surrounding rock is controlled efficiently and tunnel surrounding rock stable is guaranteed.

Surrounding Rock Stress

Hard rock generally performs ideal plastic character after the stress reaches its peak value with high confining pressure. Once the plastic strain satisfies certain condition, the brittle failure occurs, and the rock mass located in the residual region. Based on the mechanical model of hard rock under high confining pressure, we studied the surrounding rock stress and deformation evolution law of circular openings. The results shows that there is a significant end constraint effect at the opening face, and the deformation induced by disturbance is about one sixth of its total value. The results can provide theoritical foundation for deep underground engineer lining design.

Surrounding Rock Stress

The stress field monitor and rheological analysis have been done during excavation. The field monitoring data are compared with numerical simulation results. The result shows: Rock stress variation is influenced by both spatial effect and time effect; when the distance from monitoring section to tunnel face is less than a tunnel diameter, the surrounding rock stress is mainly affected by spatial effect and changes violently; when the distance is more than a tunnel diameter, the surround rock presents rheological properties and stress changes smoothly and continuously. Analyzing the monitoring data and fitting by Poynting-Thomson three-parameter rheological model, we can get the radial stress variation equation with time and predict the final variation value. The final value and numerical simulation results are in comparative agreement.
