Due to geological structure and artificial disturbance, a large number of joints and fissures are formed in the surrounding rock of an underground tunnel. In order to study the influence of joints on the failure characteristics of tunnels, three test schemes with different joint lengths, joint spacing, and joint positions are designed. The results show that the bearing capacity of the tunnel decreases with the increase in the joint length. With the increase in joint spacing, the bearing capacity of the tunnel decreases first and then increases. The crack propagation law of the three test schemes has experienced four stages: no crack, crack initiation, crack rapid development, and crack gradual reduction. The location of joints has the greatest influence on the failure mode of the tunnel. The crack is most likely to appear at the top of the tunnel and expand along the joint, mainly because it is easy to form tensile stress at the top of the tunnel and compressive stress concentration at the joint tip. Therefore, when excavating the tunnel in the underground space, the influence of joints on the tunnel should be considered. Analyzing the relationship between the tunnel and joints has important practical guiding significance for the control of the surrounding rock of the tunnel. Finally, the failure results of the indoor physical model and numerical model are compared and analyzed. They are in good agreement, which also reflects the rationality of numerical simulation.

With the rapid development of underground caverns in the fields of hydraulic engineering, mining, railway and highway, the frequency, and intensity of rockburst and dynamic instability have gradually increased, which has become a bottleneck restricting the safe construction of deep caverns. This paper presents a review of the current understanding of rockburst precursors and the dynamic failure mechanism of the deep tunnel. Emphasis is placed on the stability of the surrounding rock of the deep tunnel, the rockburst prediction method, and the dynamic failure characteristics of the surrounding rock of the deep tunnel. Throughout the presentation, the current overall gaps in understanding rockburst precursors and the dynamic failure mechanism of deep tunnels are identified in an attempt to stimulate further research in these promising directions by the research community.

Controlling the large deformation caused by bed separation failure of thick and soft surrounding rock in gob-side entry retaining is difficult. The deformation and failure modes of thick and soft surrounding rock are summarized and classified based on field research, theoretical analysis, laboratory tests, and actual measurements. Systematic research is conducted on the lithologic characteristics, failure characteristics, and control methods of the surrounding rock. The research findings are as follows: (1) The low strength, softening, and water swelling of thick mudstone, as well as its cataclasis, dilatancy, and long-term creep under strong mining and high stress are the objective reasons for large deformation of the surrounding rock. (2) Due to the weak stability of the surrounding rock-support structure and low collaborative roof side bearing capacity, no complete supporting structure is formed with the supporting system, causing the support body in each area to be crushed one by one, which is the subjective reason for the deformation and failure of the surrounding rock. (3) The deformation and failure characteristics of thick and soft surrounding rock in gob-side entry retaining are primarily divided into eight types: roof bending and sinking type, roof cutting along filling body, rib spalling type, roof fall type, filling body rotation type, filling body crushing type, roof step type, and roof cutting along the coal side. The initial points and key points for a chain reaction of each failure type are determined. (4) The surrounding rock is divided into 10 support zones at four levels, and control technology for “zonal support and overall reinforcement” is put forward. The mechanical effect of the support body in each zone and its role in maintaining the stability of surrounding rock are analyzed. This technology can ensure the integrity of the surrounding rock structure and improve the roof side collaborative bearing capacity.

AbstractThe purpose of underground methane drainage technology is to prevent methane disasters and enable the efficient use of coal mine methane (CMM), and the sealing depth is a key factor that affects the performance of underground methane drainage. In this work, the layouts of in-seam and crossing boreholes are considered to analyze the stress distribution and failure characteristics of roadway surrounding rock through a numerical simulation and field stress investigation to determine a reasonable sealing depth. The results show that the depths of the plastic and elastic zones in two experimental coal mines are 16 and 20 m respectively. Borehole sealing minimizes the air leakage through the fractures around the roadway when the sealing material covers the failure and plastic zones, and the field test results for CMM drainage at different sealing depths indicate that the CMM drainage efficiency increases with increasing sealing depth but does not change once the sealing depth exceeds the plastic zone. Moreover, sealing in the high-permeability roadway surrounding rock does not have a strong influence on the borehole sealing performance. Considering these findings, a new CMM drainage system for key sealing in the low-permeability zone was developed that is effective for improving the CMM drainage efficiency and prolonging the high-concentration CMM drainage period. The proposed approach offers a valuable quantitative analysis method for selecting the optimum sealing parameters for underground methane drainage, thereby improving considerably the drainage and utilization rates of CMM.

Temporary or permanent supports are necessary in underground construction for maintaining the stability and limiting the damage of surrounding rock. Due to the uncertainty of geological structure, the specificity of the underground environment as well as other factors, the quality and performance of supporting structure are often difficult to satisfy the design requirements, which not only seriously affects the normal construction and operation of mines but also has the potential threat to the safety of underground production. In order to investigate the influence of the unfavorable geologic environment on supporting concrete and evaluate the real performance of roadway supports of a mine, 17 typical projects were chosen and the strength of supporting concrete was detected by nondestructive drilling core method. The result shows that the strength is widely less than the design value. Furthermore, 4 projects of them were investigated by the ground penetrating radar (GPR) in order to evaluate the feasibility of GPR in the performance investigation of the roadway supports of a mine. The results indicate that ground penetrating radar is capable of measuring the thickness of the support, the distribution of rebars and the defects of the surrounding rock.

With the rapid development of information technology, information security has been gaining attention. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has issued international standards and technical reports related to information security, which are gradually being adopted by enterprises. This study analyzes the relationship between information security certification (ISO 27001) and corporate financial performance using data from Chinese publicly listed companies. The study focusses on the impact of corporate decisions such as whether to obtain certification, how long to hold certification, and whether to publicize information regarding certification. The results show that there is a positive correlation between ISO 27001 and financial performance. Moreover, the positive impact of ISO 27001 on financial performance gradually increases with time. In addition, choosing not to publicize ISO 27001 certification can negatively affect enterprise performance.

Compared with I-shaped and U-shaped supports in soft rock roadway, concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) support, as a new supporting form, has stronger bearing capacity with reasonable price. So it is becoming more and more popular in roadway supporting of coal mine in China. In this article, the surrounding rock in soft rock roadway was classified into three different types: hard rock in deep coal mine, soft surrounding rock, extremely soft surrounding rock. And, according to the characteristics of deformation failure of the CFST support and the surrounding rock in the industrial tests, three different strength assessments, including assessment of axial compressive strength, assessment of lateral flexural performance, assessment of hardening rate of core concrete, were proposed through mechanical analysis and laboratory tests for the three different types of the surrounding rock, respectively. Moreover, aimed to insufficient flexural strength of the support or low hardening rate of the core concrete in some of the roadway supporting, strengthening lateral flexural performance or making early strength concrete was necessary for the above unfavorable situations. The laboratory test results showed that the ultimate bearing capacity for the CFST support with φ194*8mm of steel tube reinforced by φ38mm round steel was 31% greater than that of the unreinforced one, 177% greater than that of the U-shaped one with equivalent weight per unit length.

The rapid development of economy brings serious environmental pollution problem. Green innovation, as the connection point between government environmental regulation measures and sustainable green development of enterprises, has become one of the important choices for the transformation and development of enterprises. Based on the classic model of “prisoner’s dilemma” in game theory, this paper deeply analyzes the relationship between green innovation and performance. It is found that it is easy to get into trouble if only relying on the spontaneous green innovation within the enterprise. Applying appropriate pressure outside the enterprise can promote the change of green innovation and bring long-term benefits to the enterprise.
