In order to research the surrounding rock control technology of deep soft rock roadway, the
air returning cross-cut of Xinhu Coal Mine in Bozhou City was taken as an example to study …

Strainburst is the most common type of rockbursts. The research of strainburst damage
mechanisms is helpful to improve and optimize the rock support design in the burst-prone …

The representative elementary volume (REV) is the premise of the continuous-media
method of analysis, and the investigation of the REVs of fractured rock masses is a …

Performances of underground rock caverns can be unsatisfactory as a result of either
instability (collapse) or excessive movements. Collapse refers to ultimate limit state failure, in …

To understand the mechanical behavior and failure mechanism of the surrounding layered
rock masses during the excavation of underground caverns for a hydropower station, an …

The surrounding rock stability of large underground caverns in a pumped storage power
station is one of the most crucial problems in hydropower project design and construction. In …

Optimization of the support used when constructing tunnels in soft surrounding rock has long
been a hotspot in engineering. To control the deformation of soft rock and ensure …

Large-scale underground cavern projects are complicated in terms of construction
technology, engineering quality, and safety. Moreover, the timely collection of vital …

This paper demonstrates the applicability of a probabilistic performance-based approach to
assess the stability of rock cavities under gravity and seismic loads, with reference to the …

Some of the largest and best-preserved Buddhist art treasure houses in the world, namely
the Mogao Grottoes, are located at the northwest edge of the region of the Qinghai-Tibet …
