Tunnels excavated in soft rock under high in situ stress are usually accompanied by large
time-dependent deformation, slow convergence, and long periods of increased support load …

Excavation‐induced rock failure and deformation near an underground opening boundary is
closely associated with the intermediate principal stress, strain softening and rock mass …

The surrounding rocks of underground engineering are generally subjected to a biaxial
compressive stress condition. The failure properties of rocks under such a stress condition …

Triaxial compression tests were conducted on frozen sandy soils under a constant minimum
principal stress (σ 3= 1.6 MPa) and various intermediate principal stresses (σ 2= 1.6, 3.4 …

Most of the fractures in deep rock mass are in compression condition. The deep rock failure
is complex and different modes of failure play important roles. In this study, the central …

To reveal the failure mechanism of roadway surrounding rock under the partial confining
stress in deep mining, by means of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, this paper …

Rock mass failure is gradually becoming more common as the number of geotechnical
engineering projects continues to increase. In this paper, the probability density distributions …

The underground powerhouse of the Shuangjiangkou hydropower station is one of the
largest caverns under construction in China, and its stability during construction is crucial for …

To study the occurrence process, as well as the temporal and spatial evolution laws, of
rockburst disasters, the roof deformation of continuous heading roadways during rockburst …

Failure of mine pillars, especially in deep underground mines, significantly threatens the
safety of miners and equipment. Previous studies on mine pillar stability design have used …
