For ensuring safety during the construction and use of a super-large cross-section tunnel, it
is essential to understand the lining structure failure pattern and the instability of the …

The roadway support has always been a difficult problem in the mining engineering,
especially in the deep soft rock roadway, whether it can provide endurable and effective …

The stability of the middle soil pillar (MSP) is considered to be a crucial factor in ensuring the
safety during the construction of asymmetric parallel tunnels. In this paper, both …

Numerous subway tunnels have been built in soft upper and hard lower composite strata.
However, the stability and bearing capacity of composite strata are difficult to predict …

The deep roadway with thick top coal is a typical roadway difficult to support in deep mining
project, and resolving this sophisticated problem to control the stability of surrounding rock is …

The stability of concealed goafs in open-pit mines under the influence of blasting
disturbances is directly related to successful mining production. Based on large-scale similar …

The faults play an important role in inducing tremendous potential threat to the stability
capability of embedded tunnels in strong earthquake events. Based on the finite element …

Abstract The Laodongshan Tunnel, as a part of Guangtong-Kunming railway in China is one
of the most important connections in the whole railway line. The large deformation and …

During the excavation of tunnels, the heading face often encounters alternating soft and
hard strata. Many accidents have been reported to be closely related to the change in strata …

Natural geological structures in rock (eg, joints, weakness planes, defects) play a vital role in
the stability of tunnels and underground operations during construction. We investigated the …
