Aiming at the problem of surrounding rock deformation and failure of mining roadway and its control, a mechanical model of the circular roadway under the mining environment is established, and the implicit equation of the plastic zone boundary is derived. By analyzing the morphologic evolution law of the surrounding rock plastic zone in the mining roadway, the key factors affecting the morphologic change of the plastic zone are obtained, that is, the magnitude and direction of principal stress. The influence law of the magnitude and direction of principal stress on the plastic zone of the mining roadway is analyzed by using numerical simulation software, and the deformation and failure mechanism of surrounding rock of the mining roadway is revealed. The results showed that the size and morphology of the plastic zone were closely related to the confining pressure ratio (η). Taking the boundary of η valuing 1, the larger or smaller η value was, the more serious the deformation and failure of surrounding rock would be; the morphology of the plastic zone changed with the deflection of the principal stress, with the location of the maximum plastic zone influenced by the principal stress direction. For the surrounding rock control in the mining-influenced roadway, it is advised to take the following methods: firstly, it is necessary to consider how to reduce or remove the influence of mining on surrounding rock, improve the stress environment of surrounding rock, and reduce the failure depth of the plastic zone, so as to better maintain the roadway. Secondly, in view of the deformation and failure characteristics of the mining roadway, the fractional support method of “yielding first and then resisting” should be adopted, which applies the cable supplement support after mining instead of the one-off high-strength support during roadway excavation, so as to control the malignant expansion of the surrounding rock plastic zone and prevent roof falling accidents.

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.

The deformation and failure of tunnel surrounding rock is the result of tunnel excavation disturbance and rock stress release. When the local stress of surrounding rock exceeds the elastic limit of rock mass, the plastic analysis of surrounding rock must be carried out to judge the stability of tunnel. In this study, the Lade–Duncan yield criterion is used to calculate the analytic solutions for the surrounding rock in a tunnel, and the radius and displacement of the plastic zone are deduced using an equilibrium equation. The plastic zone radius and displacement based on Lade–Duncan criterion and Mohr–Coulomb criterion were compared by using single-factor analysis method under the different internal friction angles, in situ stresses, and support resistances. The results show that the solutions of the radius and displacement of plastic zone calculated by the Lade–Duncan criterion are close to those of Mohr–Coulomb criterion under the high internal friction angle and support resistance or low in situ rock stress; however, the radius and displacement of the plastic zone calculated by the Lade–Duncan criterion are larger under normal circumstances, and the Lade–Duncan criterion is more applicable to the stability analysis of the surrounding rock in a tunnel.

There are many effective researches about tunnel at home and abroad, because the complexity of design and construction for Y-shape tunnel, in public there is no research about it yet, with the background of nanliang-tunnel which merge two single-beam into a two-lane tunnel as Y-shape. This paper obtains the rock mass mechanics parameters on the basis of nonlinear Hoek-Brown criterion first, and has a numerical simulation according the tunnel construction with FLAC-3D. we arrange many monitor sections in this model and discuss the law of deformation and failure in different section, at last have a comprehensive analysis of displacement, stress, plastic zone of different sites which caused by tunnel construction and discover that: with the distance of two single tunnels decreased, the interaction caused by the merging increase together with the compressive stress, tensile stress. The displacements of surrounding rock increase corresponding, the amplitude of variation is up to 44.8%, After the two-lane tunnel is 15m long, the stress and displacements redistribution of surrounding rock become stable.

In order to obtain the analytical solution of the plastic area boundary of circular laneway surrounding rock in nonuniform stress field, we studied the evolution of the plastic area shapes of the circular laneway surrounding rock from circular to elliptical and derived the analytical solutions of the boundary radii in the elliptical shape. The results show that (1) with the increase of the confining pressure ratio from 1, the major axis radius of the plastic area increases gradually, the minor axis radius decreases gradually, and the shape of the plastic area gradually evolves from circular to elliptical; (2) on the basis of the Mohr–Coulomb strength criterion, the analytical expressions of major axis and minor axis radii of the elliptical plastic area are derived, and the elliptic equation of the plastic area boundary of circular laneway in nonuniform stress field is established; and (3) the confining pressure ratio is the key factor affecting the shape of the plastic area. When the confining pressure ratio is less than 1.6, the plastic area of the circular laneway surrounding rock is elliptical, and the elliptic boundary equation is applicable. When the confining pressure ratio is greater than 1.6, the plastic area is butterfly shaped, and the elliptic boundary equation is no longer applicable.

Universal distinct element code (UDEC) is a simulation software based on the discrete element method, widely used in geotechnical mining. However, in the UDEC, when simulating large-scale excavation, the subsidence of the fractured zone is almost equal to the mining height, which makes the deformation value calculated in the study of gob-side entry retention too large. To solve this problem, in this paper, the double-yield constitutive model is applied to the whole caving zone to analyze the deformation and failure characteristics of surrounding rock along gob-side entry retaining by roof cutting. The results of the simulation are in good agreement with the result of drilling peeking (drilling observation by borehole televiewer) and field condition (observation and measurement in the field). Finally, by using this numerical method, the effects of roadway width, temporary support, and coal side support on the failure of the roof and the arc coal side are studied.

The main objective of the study is to estimate the shear resistance mobilized on the slope surface under large deformation and to identify the failure mechanism of the landslide through the simulation model. The field investigations were carried out using Geophysical tests, and the laboratory tests were conducted to identify the engineering properties of the soil with weathering characteristics of the parent rock. The residual shear strength parameters from Torsional ring shear tests were used in LS-RAPID numerical simulation software to study the mechanism of the landslide. The critical pore water pressure ratio (ru = 0.32) required for the initiation of a landslide was obtained. The increase in pore water pressure reduces the soil matric suction and thereby results in the reduction of the shear strength of the soil. The progressive failure mechanism and the three landslide processes (initiation, run out and deposition) are investigated. The velocity of the moving landslide mass in the role of demolishing the building is studied and helps in finding suitable remedial measures for the nearby building. The empirical rainfall threshold based on the antecedent rainfall was developed and revealed that either a high daily rainfall intensity of 142 mm without any antecedent rainfall, or an antecedent rainfall of 151 mm for a cumulative period of 5 days with even continuous normal rainfall can initiate landslide.

Brittle failure of hard rock poses a serious threat to the stability of surrounding rock in deep underground engineering. In order to study the deformation and failure characteristics of deep buried granite under high confining pressure cyclic loading and unloading, MTS815 electro-hydraulic servo rock test system was used to conduct cyclic loading and unloading tests under confining pressures of 15 MPa, 35 MPa, 45 MPa, and 55 MPa, and the corresponding stress-strain curves and deformation failure characteristic curves were obtained. The experimental results show the follows: (1) under the same confining pressure, the peak strength, crack initiation stress, crack damage stress, and Poisson’s ratio of the specimens under cyclic loading and unloading are larger than those under conventional triaxial loading and unloading, and the unloading elastic modulus is smaller than that, under conventional triaxial compression; (2) the results show that, under different confining pressures, the granite samples show obvious brittle failure characteristics, the elastic modulus and crack initiation stress increase first and then decrease with the confining pressure, the peak strength and crack damage stress of the samples increase linearly with the confining pressure, and Poisson’s ratio increases first and then remains unchanged with the confining pressure; (3) under the two kinds of stress conditions, the macroscopic failure of the samples is mainly shear failure. The deformation and failure law of granite samples revealed in this study has significant reference value for the selection of rock mass mechanical model of surrounding rock stability of underground engineering, the formulation of surrounding rock support countermeasures, and the evolution law of mechanical parameters with damage variables.

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.

Rockburst in roadway happened along with a large-scale destruction of the surrounding rock. To study the failure laws of the surrounding rock in the process of rockburst in roadway, the evolution behaviors of the plastic zone and the criteria of large-scope failure were studied by using FLAC numerical simulation. Meanwhile, the stress response laws of the plastic zone were studied by loading or unloading in a single direction. The results showed that, in the 20 MPa stress environment, large-scale failure zone would appear when the maximum confining pressure was loaded to 50 MPa or the minimum confining pressure was unloaded to 6 MPa. Loading in the direction of maximum confining pressure or unloading in the direction of minimum confining pressure, when the stresses reached a certain limit, could lead to a large-scale expansion to the failure zone of the surrounding rock a roadway. Meanwhile, the stress response of the plastic zone became more sensitive, which might easily trigger rockburst in roadway. In addition, two sine qua nonstress conditions for rockburst in roadway were determined: high stress ratio and high stress level. This might provide a theoretical basis for the stress source mechanism of roadway rockburst.

China has a large number of coal resources in “three-soft” geological conditions. The roof of these coal seams is soft and has low strength. Under this condition, gob-side entry retaining can be carried out under the guidance of roof leading holes to achieve the goal of nonblasting roof cutting and roadway retaining. In this paper, the technology of void weakening, roof cutting, and pressure relief along gob retaining roadway is investigated. The force model of void is established, and the stress concentration of void and interference effect of stress superposition between holes is simulated by COMSOL numerical simulation software. The influence of different factors on stress distribution surrounding round holes is then studied by orthogonal experiment. The results show that the distribution of the plastic zone in circular holes varies with the lateral pressure ratio. With the increase of lateral pressure ratio, the shape of the plastic zone will gradually change from circular to elliptical, and eventually to butterfly, and the size of the butterfly plastic zone is positively correlated with the aperture. On this basis, the technology of “empty hole weakening + dense pillar” roof cutting and gob-side entry retaining is presented. The methodology is then applied to an auxiliary air intake roadway of 21309 working face in the Xiangshan Mine. Industrial testing of three-soft seams using advanced empty hole without blasting roof cutting and gob-side entry retaining is then successfully carried out. The advanced weakening hole replaces the original blasting cutting technology, omits the blasting cutting link in the existing gob-side entry retaining technology, shortens the retaining time, solves the problems such as large coal dust concentration and bad construction environment in the blasting process, and provides scientific theoretical basis for the gob-side entry retaining technology without blasting under such geological conditions.
