Due to the special mechanical properties of macker rock, problems may be caused easily if the pressure of the surrounding rock calculated from the standard empirical equation is used in the structural design of tunnel support, such as obviously insufficient bearing capacity of the support structure, large deformation, and collapse. Taking the Jiangluling Macker Tunnel in Gonghe-Yushu Highway as an example, the distribution pattern of plastic zone of the surrounding rock and the calculation method and reasonable values of pressure of the surrounding rock are studied in this paper, by means of theoretical analysis, numerical computation, and field measurement data. The results show that the elastic-plastic analysis method is suitable for the pressure of the surrounding rock of macker tunnel. The influence radius of the plastic zone of the surrounding rock can be 32 m, and the lateral pressure of the surrounding rock of the tunnel is equivalent to the vertical pressure. In the absence of test conditions and measured data, the pressure of the surrounding rock can be approximately 0.83 MPa for the purpose of design of tunnel support structure. This conclusion provides technical support for projects in similar conditions.

As lack of explicit analysis method on the sequence of many factors influencing the plastic zone extension of surrounding rock, the grey correlation analysis method is adopted to study the relationship between the plastic zone extension radius Rp and the six factors such as cohesive c, internal friction angle φ, deformation modulus E, unit weight γ, initial ground stress σ and the radius of chamber r. By dealing with dimensionless, the corresponding sequences composed with the sensitive factors as sub-sequence and the plastic zone extension radius as mother sequence are obtained. The gray correlation analysis model of sensitive factors which evaluates the results with grey correlation degree is built by the methods of dimensionless and extreme difference variation. Then, an engineering example is analyzed with grey correlation. Based on the analysis results, the sorting of sensitive factors is φ > σ > c > r > E > γ. It implies that the influences of internal friction angle φ and initial ground stress σ are the most prominent, and the sensitivities of deformation modulus E and unit weight γ are lowest. These are in good agreement with the analytical formula of classical theory, and can be used in guiding the further optimization and improvement of the analytical expression of the plastic zone extension radius Rp of surrounding rock.

The independent LNG (Liquified Nature Gas) containment is widely used for small or medium-sized LNG carrier and ship using LNG as fuels. The common tank pattern includes single-spherical-cylindrical tank and double-spherical-cylindrical tank, which is the key to design the hull structure and its support. The support is designed to connect the hull structure and LNG tank. Its main functions are heat transferring and force loading. This paper focus on the temperature field distribution of hull and its support structure. The thermal boundary conditions are simulated according to the heat transfer action, such as thermal convection, heat conduction and thermal radiation. The method on how to carry out thermal analysis is presented for an independent LNG containment. The case study is carried out with two typical independent LNG tanks. One is a tank with double spherical cylindrical in the LNG carrier, and the other is a tank with single spherical cylindrical on the deck of the ship using LNG as fuels. The result shows the method presented in this paper is a good reference for the structural design with independent LNG containment.

For the deficiencies that the existing calculation theory for the Plastic Zone of Tunnel Surrounding Rock (PZTSR) does not consider the effect of the intermediate principal stress σ2 and interaction between the surrounding rock and support structure on the PZTSR under unequal stress, the Unified Strength Theory (UST) for the rock is adopted to replace the often used Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) strength criterion to consider the effect of σ2 on the PZTSR. Meanwhile, the interaction mechanism between the surrounding rock and support structure is also considered in the proposed model. Finally, the effect of the initial elastic displacement of the surrounding rock, stiffness of the support structure, and the coefficient b of the intermediate principal stress on the plastic zone is discussed. The results show that the PZTSR will increase nonlinearly with increasing the initial elastic displacement of the surrounding rock, and when it increases to a certain value, its increase extent will be much obvious. With increasing the stiffness of the support structure, the PZTSR will gradually decrease nonlinearly, but the decrease extent is not very much. With increasing b, the PZTSR will decrease; namely, σ2 can improve the stress condition of the surrounding rock and reduce the PZTSR.

With the increasing mining depth of coal mines, the occurrence of rockburst, especially in mine roadways, is becoming critical as a severe dynamic disaster. This paper explores the stability control of deep mine roadways and solves the contradiction between the support and pressure relief of roadways by studying the use of an internal steel pipe for wall protection and a soft structure for energy absorption during repeated borehole drilling. Numerical simulations are performed to examine the effects of active support technology on the support structure during repeated drilling. Internal steel pipes can effectively prevent the support structure from being damaged. When the soft structure cracks, the energy transmitted from the rockburst to the roadway is significantly reduced. According to the deformation and failure characteristics of the surrounding rock of the 21170 roadway, the combination of anchor active support, hydraulic lifting shed support, and soft structure energy absorption is proposed. An engineering case study shows that the support method can effectively maintain the stability of the surrounding rock and ensure the safe mining of the working face. The proposed control method can provide reference for the prevention and control of rockburst in mine roadways under similar geological conditions.

The viewpoint that the ground initial elastic displacement and the interaction between the ground response curve (GRC) and support response curve (SRC) in the surrounding rock should be considered at the same time in the mechanical analysis of the circular tunnel is proposed, and its solution method is also established. Meanwhile, in order to consider the effect of the intermediate principle stress, Drucker-Prager criterion is introduced to describe the yield property of the surrounding rock. The calculation example indicates that the final radial displacement of the tunnel circumference will increase when the ground initial elastic displacement in the surrounding rock is considered before the support structure is applied, which indicates that it is necessary to consider the ground initial elastic displacement in the surrounding rock before the support structure is applied. With increasing the support resistance force and the initial field stress, the plastic zone radius in the surrounding rock and the radial displacement of the tunnel circumference will decrease and increase, respectively, while with increasing the rock internal friction angle and cohesion, the plastic zone radius in the surrounding rock and the radial displacement of the tunnel circumference both decrease. Meanwhile, with the stress Lode parameter increasing from −1 to 1, the plastic zone radius in the surrounding rock and the radial displacement of the tunnel circumference both greatly decrease and then slightly increase. It indicates that the intermediate principle stress has some effect on the calculation results.

In order to reveal the failure mechanism of the deep roadway under mining-induced pressure in coal mine, the boundary equations for the plastic zone around the deep roadway were deduced, and then the evolution laws for morphology of the plastic zone and the relationship between the morphological indexes and the stability of surrounding rock were discussed. The results show that, for the deep roadway, the effect of mining on the plastic zone is more sensitive than that on the shallow one. Even if the changes of mining influence are small, they may also cause extremely serious plastic failure of surrounding rock masses, leading to the sudden instability of the roadway. When the plastic wings of the plastic zone are approximately perpendicular to the roof, floor, or sidewall, the large deformation and failure of the deep roadway are very likely to occur. Compared with the index of the uniformity coefficient, the irregular shape coefficient can be used to better characterize the differences in the plastic zone morphology. Finally, a case study was provided to apply the principles for the formation and extension of a butterfly-shaped plastic zone.

Current supply chain methods are having difficulties in resolving problems arising from the lack of trust in supply chains. The root reason lies in two challenges brought to the traditional mechanism: self-interests of supply chain members and information asymmetry in production processes. Blockchain is a promising technology to address these problems. The key objective of this paper is to present qualitative analysis for blockchain in supply chain as the decision-making framework to implement this new technology. The analysis method used Val IT business case framework, validated by the expert judgements. The further study needs to be elaborated by either the existing organization that use blockchain or assessment by the organization that will use blockchain to improve their supply chain management.
