The analysis of rock mass deformation around permanent excavations in sylvinite seam at a depth of 1100 m is presented. Surrounding rock mass features occurrence of hard anhydrite-dolomite rocks in the roof and soft carnallite in the floor of underground excavations. The test openings were driven with height of 3.7 m and width of 6.0 m using a cutter- loader. The deformation control used 6 measurement points in the excavations with support by rockbolting in the patterns of 1.0×1.0, 1.5×1.5 and 2.0×2.0 m. Two measurement points were arranged in an unsupported excavation. It is found that the key factors influencing deformation of the perimeter of underground excavations are the rockbolting design and the geological structure of enclosing rock mass. For instance, the reinforcement of roof support decreases values and velocities of deformation both in the roof and sidewalls of excavations. The highest values of velocities of displacements are recorded in the floor. The increased displacements in the floor rocks should be expected when the distance between the excavation perimeter and the nearest interface of seams (layers) in the floor of a tunnel decreases. The presented results can be of use to experts in the fields of geomechanics as well as in design and construction of underground excavations.

Based on the left bank slope of Baihetan hydropower station in Southwestern China, a high-precision microseismic monitoring system was established. An early warning model of surrounding rock mass deformation and failure based on MF-DFA was proposed. The results showed that the multifractal characteristics of the microseismic and blasting waveform time series in the left bank slope were obvious, and the multifractal spectrum width of the blasting waveform is much larger than that of microseismic waveform. Before the slope cracks increased, the multifractal time-varying response characteristics of microseismic waveform showed strong regularity, which could be regarded as a precursor of surrounding rock mass deformation. Before the deformation and failure of surrounding rock mass, the multifractal spectrum width Δα showed an increasing trend while the multifractal spectrum of microseismic waveforms Δf(α) presented a decreasing trend, which can be regarded as a precursor of surrounding rock mass deformation; when deformation and failure occurred, Δα showed a decreasing trend and Δf(α) showed an increasing trend, which can be regarded as a deformation failure period; after the occurrence of deformation and failure, both Δα and Δf(α) showed a steady trend, and Δf(α) would approach to the zero line, which can be regarded as a stable period.

Large rock mass deformation around deep roadways in the weak rocks was a significantproblem in mining activities in Vietnam and other countries. The excavation of roadways leads to highreleasing stress, which exceeds the peak strength of spalling surrounding rock and causes it to enter thepost-failure stage. Tensile failures then initiate and develop around the roadways, which causes thefragmentation, dilation, and separation of surrounding rock. The capacity of the primary support systemis low, which results in a severe contraction in the whole section of roadways, which requires findingsolutions to prevent the deformation of rock mass around roadways and technical solutions fromstabilizing for deep roadways. To stability analysis of roadways can be applied analytical, experimental,semi-experimental, and numerical methods. This paper introduces the prevention mechanism of largedeformation of rock mass around roadways using 2-level rock bolts. The research results show that usingthe system of two-level rock bolts can reduce the values of tensile stress on the boundary of roadwaysrange from 10 to 15% compared with only one. The importance of the total displacement of rock mass onthe boundary of roadways will be reduced from 3.47 to 13.85% using six long cable bolts.

The underground cavities of the Guandi Hydropower Station are Complex large-scale underground caverns. The quality of the surrounding rock masses of the underground cavities of the Guandi Hydropower Station is good and the deformation is normally less than 30mm. The structure surfaces have noticeable action for controlling the surrounding rock mass deformation. The time characteristic of the surrounding rock mass deformation is not noticeable.
