The deformation mode of loess surrounding rock of anchor under the action of pull-out load and the shear stress distribution law of loess anchor and loess interface under the condition of different lengths anchor are studied by using the laboratory self-made model test chamber and micro anchor pullout instrument. A total of three tests are carried out for the selected test anchor. Three deformation modes of loess surrounding rock under the action of pull-out load are obtained according to the test results. It is proposed that the maximum shear stress of loess anchor under the action of pull-out load appears in the section 25 times the anchor diameter from the anchor head, and the shear stress in the middle and rear part of the anchor body can only be brought into full play when the length-to-diameter ratio of the anchor body is 110 or more. Based on the displacement solution of Mindlin problem, the drawn conclusion is compared with the theoretical solution of shear stress and axial force of loess anchor under the action of pull-out load. The results compared are basically consistent, indicating that the conclusion has strong engineering practice, which can provide technical basis for the design and optimization of the system anchor in the sidewall of loess tunnel.

A laboratory model test of tunnel anchor was conducted to investigate its pullout mechanism and bearing capacity. Surface and rock deformation, strain and stress were measured during the entire model test process. The results show that: under pull out load, tensile failure first occurs in top surface rock near the anchor, then shear failure occurs in anchor-rock interface and rock around the anchor. The failure surface is inverted cone from the anchor bottom. Under 50 times design cable force tunnel rock is in elastic stage, suggesting that current tunnel anchor design is quite conservative and can be further optimized.

Asymmetrical deformation and failure characteristics of the surrounding rock at the right-angled trapezoidal roadway in the Shitanjing No. 2 mining area has created great difficulties in the stability control and support of the roadway. First, numerical simulations were applied to systematically analyze the distribution rules for vertical stress, horizontal stress, and failure characteristics of the roadway. Furthermore, verifications were conducted via laboratory model tests and practical engineering application. The results show that the two walls of the roadway, the roof, and the sharp corners demonstrate obvious asymmetric stress concentrations. The peak value of stress concentration in the low side (right wall) is significantly greater than that in the high side (left wall), and the distances from high and low sides of roadway to both walls of the roadway are obviously different. The two sharp corners, which are symmetrical along the same direction of the coal seam inclination, show obvious compressive stresses, while the opposite directions show obvious tensile stress regions at both sharp corners; further, maximum values of the compressive and tensile stresses appear at the two corners of the roadway roof, and their magnitudes vary with the change in inclination and ground stress.

Under the assumptions of plane strain, vertical normal stress and shear stress distribution in surrounding rock of rectangular tunnels before and after installing anchor cable are studied. And according to the mechanics of materials, the formula of stress distribution in the roof is corrected. According to the corrected formula of the stress distribution, the dangerous points are found. And the dangerous point location does not change before and after installing anchor cable. It still locates in the middle and ends of roadway roof. Just the dangerous stress value decreases after installing anchor cable. There are the maximum tensile stress in the midpoint roof and the maximum shear stress on both ends of the roof.

Aiming at the failure problems of mining roadway stratiform surrounding rock influenced by asymmetrical high stress, firstly, the rock instability conditions of different structural plane angles were summarized based on the mechanical model of rock joints and instability criterion. Secondly, stresses, plastic zone, and displacement of surrounding rock with different structural plane angles were calculated and analyzed with the theoretical calculation method or numerical simulation method, respectively. The distribution characteristics of plastic zone of surrounding rock under different influence factors are further studied, and the results show that the lateral pressure coefficient can change the size and shape of plastic zone at the same time. The damage mechanism was analyzed through the above study. Research studies show that the shear and tension failure area of plastic zone were directly determined by the maximum shear stress and the minimum principal stress. The effect of structure planes on stress has two sides, one to destroy the continuity and the other to strengthen discreteness and laddering nature. When the angle between maximum shear stress and structure plane increases, the extended mode and distribution pattern of plastic zone change substantially as well. The #15 haulage roadway is taken as engineering background, and the above research’s results are verified by the comprehensive analysis. The research results can enrich the butterfly plastic zone theory and provide the basis for roadway supporting design.

In this study, we developed a tunnel excavation model test system to investigate the deformation and mechanical response of the surrounding rocks and tunnel structure during the reconstruction and expansion of an existing shallow single-hole tunnel into a twin-arch tunnel. A model test was conducted to study the variation in the ground surface settlement characteristics, surrounding rock pressure, and internal stresses of the supporting structure and midwall during the construction process. The influence of the excavation distance on displacements and structural stress between the faces of the left and right tunnels was analysed using numerical software. A comparison between the model test results and the monitoring and measurement construction results revealed a fairly consistent ground surface settlement, indicating that the system is stable and reliable and can be widely applied to laboratory model test research on tunnel excavation. Results show that the excavation of the first tunnel had a significant effect on the stability of the surrounding rock within the distance of a single-tunnel span behind the tunnel face. When the excavation distance between the two tunnels exceeded twice the length of the single-tunnel span, its effect on the stresses and deformation of the reconstructed twin-arch tunnel was negligible.

Based on plastic limit analysis, the deformation and fracture mechanism of the floor in the large-span chambers of deep mines are discussed and a similarity model test is carried out to verify the reliability of the theoretical analysis. The results show that the local shear failure first appears below the loading area and develops to the middle part of the test model with the increase in load; when the local shear failure develops to form a continuous sliding surface, continuous plastic flow deformation occurs; the distribution of the plastic zone and the deformation mode obtained from the similarity model test are basically consistent with the Hill-like deformation mode derived from plastic limit analysis. A control technology with anti-slide piles is proposed in order to deal with floor heave in large-span chambers on the basis of previous work. An approach for determining the supporting parameters of anti-slide piles is deduced. To deal with the floor heave in the −1100 level gangue winch room of the Huafeng Coal Mine, a comprehensive reinforcement scheme with anti-slide piles composed of discarded rails and anti-floating anchors is introduced for the floor heave control of the chambers. Site monitoring results show that the scheme not only effectively restrains the development of floor heave, but also ensures the long-term stability of the chamber floor.

AbstractNumerical simulation is a useful tool in investigating the loading performance of rock bolts. The cable structural elements (cableSELs) in FLAC3D are commonly adopted to simulate rock bolts to solve geotechnical issues. In this study, the bonding performance of the interface between the rock bolt and the grout material was simulated with a two-stage shearing coupling model. Furthermore, the FISH language was used to incorporate this two-stage shear coupling model into FLAC3D to modify the current cableSELs. Comparison was performed between numerical and experimental results to confirm that the numerical approach can properly simulate the loading performance of rock bolts. Based on the modified cableSELs, the influence of the bolt diameter on the performance of rock bolts and the shear stress propagation along the interface between the bolt and the grout were studied. The simulation results indicated that the load transfer capacity of rock bolts rose with the rock bolt diameter apparently. With the bolt diameter increasing, the performance of the rock bolting system was likely to change from the ductile behaviour to the brittle behaviour. Moreover, after the rock bolt was loaded, the position where the maximum shear stress occurred was variable. Specifically, with the continuous loading, it shifted from the rock bolt loaded end to the other end.

Clusters of liquid drops growing and moving on physically or chemically textured lyophobic surfaces are encountered in drop-wise mode of vapor condensation. As opposed to film-wise condensation, drops permit a large heat transfer coefficient and are hence attractive. However, the temporal sustainability of drop formation on a surface is a challenging task, primarily because the sliding drops eventually leach away the lyophobicity promoter layer. Assuming that there is no chemical reaction between the promoter and the condensing liquid, the wall shear stress (viscous resistance) is the prime parameter for controlling physical leaching. The dynamic shape of individual droplets, as they form and roll/slide on such surfaces, determines the effective shear interaction at the wall. Given a shear stress distribution of an individual droplet, the net effect of droplet ensemble can be determined using the time averaged population density during condensation. In this paper, we solve the Navier-Stokes and the energy equation in three-dimensions on an unstructured tetrahedral grid representing the computational domain corresponding to an isolated pendant droplet sliding on a lyophobic substrate. We correlate the droplet Reynolds number (Re = 10–500, based on droplet hydraulic diameter), contact angle and shape of droplet with wall shear stress and heat transfer coefficient. The simulations presented here are for Prandtl Number (Pr) = 5.8. We see that, both Poiseuille number (Po) and Nusselt number (Nu), increase with increasing the droplet Reynolds number. The maximum shear stress as well as heat transfer occurs at the droplet corners. For a given droplet volume, increasing contact angle decreases the transport coefficients.
