The paper adopts the interface element to simulate the joints so as to systematically and quantitatively study the deformation around tunnel, the mechanic state of lining and the stability under different inclining angles of joints. The result shows that the deformation around tunnel deteriorates mainly along the joint during the inner convergence effects of surrounding rock. When the inclining angle α=45°, the deformation around the tunnel is most serious, followed by that when α=90°, α=60°, α=30° and α=0°. At the same time, the influence of inclining angle on the distribution of the axial force of lining is comparatively small. But the distribution of bending moment and shear change obviously where the joints penetrate the tunnel. The tunnel stability of surrounding rock is the poorest when α=90° and the tunnel is most stable when α=0°. The stability of surrounding rock changes little when α is between 30° and 60°. The research result provides an effective calculation method for the forecast of deformation, the design of structure and the stability analysis of jointed tunnel. It is also helpful for the monitoring of construction and calculation of jointed tunnel in the future.

In order to analyze the stability of surrounding rock accurately and effectively, a rock classification method based on QGA (quantum genetic algorithm)-SVM (support vector machine) is put forward. QGA was used for global search in the solution space to optimize the kernel function parameters of SVM. And this method improved the classification accuracy of SVM in rock classification. Finally, a rock classification model based on QGA-SVM was established and applied to practical engineering. The result shows that the improved SVM has a higher accuracy in stability analysis of surrounding rock.

A numerical analysis method for block failure is proposed that is based on continuum mechanics. First, a mesh model that includes marked blocks was established based on the grid-based block identification method. Then, expressions of the contact force under various contact states were derived based on the explicit contact force algorithm, and a contact simulation method between blocks and the surrounding rock was proposed. The safety factors of the blocks were calculated based on the strength reduction method. This numerical analysis method can simulate both the continuous deformation of the surrounding rock and the discontinuous failure processes of the blocks. A simple example of a sliding block was used to evaluate the accuracy and rationality of the numerical method. Finally, combined with a deep underground excavation project under complex geological conditions, the stability of the blocks and rock were analyzed. The results indicate that the key blocks are damaged after excavation, the potentially dangerous blocks loosen and undergo large deformations, and the cracks between the blocks and the rock gradually increase as the excavation proceeds. The safety factors of the blocks change during the excavation. The numerical results demonstrate the influence of the surrounding rock on the failure process and on the stability of the blocks, and an effective analysis method is provided for the stability analysis of blocks under complex geological conditions.

This paper focuses on the stability analysis of the Nanjung Water Diversion Twin Tunnels using convergence measurement. The Nanjung Tunnel is horseshoe-shaped in cross-section, 10.2 m x 9.2 m in dimension, and 230 m in length. The location of the tunnel is in Curug Jompong, Margaasih Subdistrict, Bandung. Convergence monitoring was done for 144 days between February 18 and July 11, 2019. The results of the convergence measurement were recorded and plotted into the curves of convergence vs. day and convergence vs. distance from tunnel face. From these plots, the continuity of the convergence and the convergence rate in the tunnel roof and wall were then analyzed. The convergence rates from each tunnel were also compared to empirical values to determine the level of tunnel stability. In general, the trend of convergence rate shows that the Nanjung Tunnel is stable without any indication of instability. Although there was a spike in the convergence rate at several STA in the measured span, that spike was not replicated by the convergence rate in the other measured spans and it was not continuous. The stability of the Nanjung Tunnel is also confirmed from the critical strain analysis, in which most of the STA measured have strain magnitudes located below the critical strain line and are less than 1%.

Based on the fluid-solid coupling theory, we study the stability of surrounding rock mass around underground oil storage in Huangdao, Shandong province, analyze the stress of the surrounding rock mass around three chambers and the displacement change of several key monitoring points after excavation and evaluate the stability of surrounding rock mass using COMSOL Multiphysics software. Research results show that the stress at both sides of the straight wall of cavern increases, especially obvious stress concentration forms at the corners of the cavern, and the surrounding rock mass moves towards the cavern after excavation. The stress and displacement of the surrounding rock mass will increase accordingly after setting the water curtains, but the change does not have a substantive impact on the stability of surrounding rock mass.

The stability judgement of surrounding rock is one of the key jobs in tunnel engineering. Taking the Erlongdong fault bundle section of Guanjiao Tunnel as the background, the stability of surrounding rock during construction of soft rock tunnel was discussed preliminarily. Based on plastic strain catastrophe theory, and combining numerical results and in-situ data, the limit displacements for stability of surrounding rock were analyzed and obtained corresponding to the in-situ monitoring technology. It shows that the limit displacements obtained corresponds to engineering practice primarily. The plastic strain catastrophe theory under unloading condition provides new thought for ground stability of deep soft rock tunnel and can be good guidance and valuable reference to construction decision making and deformation managing of similar tunnels.

In order to study the interaction between the left and right tunnels of suspension bridge tunnel-type anchorage, the finite difference numerical software is used to analyze the mechanical properties of the surrounding rock during the construction process. A numerical analysis model based on FLAC3D is established to analyze the stress, displacement and plastic zone changes of the surrounding rock of right tunnel anchor cavern during the construction of left tunnel anchor cavern. The right tunnel anchor cavern is excavated firstly, and then the left tunnel anchor cavern is excavated. The numerical simulation results show that the main displacement of the right tunnel occurs in the construction stage of the anchor plug body and the rear anchor cavern of the left tunnel. During the excavation of the left tunnel, the plastic zones of the left and right tunnel anchor caverns are only connected above the middle of the waist wall. Therefore, it is suggested that during the construction process, especially in the excavation stage of the anchor plug body and the rear anchor cavern, the area above the middle of the tunnel waist wall should be strengthened in time to ensure the construction safety.

In order to study the supporting of deep surrounding rock with zonal disintegration tendency, the zonal disintegration phenomenon of deep surrounding rock under three supporting forms is analyzed by the ABAQUS finite element software in this paper, and three supporting forms are un-supporting, bolting and grouting, and combined “Bolting and grouting plus Anchor rope” supporting. The results show that the different effects to zonal disintegration under different supporting forms will occur. Supporting can help to restrain the zonal disintegration of the reinforcement part advantageously, and also lower rupture degree of zonal disintegration and reduce the size of rupture zone. Meanwhile, the stability of surrounding rock is improved. But zonal disintegration may occur outside reinforcement part under greater ground stress. The results are great importance to a better understanding of the deep roadway supporting.

When a disaster source is unknown and uncertain, it is difficult for tunnel stability analysis to conform to the actual situation, which is likely to cause serious geological disasters. Firstly, the accurate location of the source of the disaster is realized via the geophysical method, and the orientation of the target is determined. Secondly, real imaging of the geological disaster source is realized using fine three-dimensional scanning equipment. Finally, the coupling law of the seepage field, displacement field, and stress field of the tunnel surrounding rock are analyzed. The stability of the tunnel is analyzed, and the reasonable karst treatment method is put forward.

The cut-and-fill mining is the main content of the technical system of green coal mining. And it is an effective way for solving the environmental problems and mining the coal under buildings, under railway, under water and over confined aquifer. No matter what kind of filling way, the gob stowing cannot achieve ideal filling effect, the filling effect is random in certain scope. Taking a coal mine as an example, with the aid of stochastic finite element method, the three situations of gob stowing were calculated and analyzed to explore the statistical rule of the ground surface settlement and the stability of surrounding rock because of random variation of gob stowing effect.
