FDEM numerical modeling of failure mechanisms of anisotropic rock masses around deep tunnels

Penghai Deng et al.

Summary: The failure modes of anisotropic rock masses, such as composite failure, V-shaped notch failure, and spalling of bedding planes, are influenced by mechanical parameters, environmental conditions, and excavation factors. As rock mass strength and lateral pressure coefficient increase or tunnel span decreases, the failure mode shifts from composite failure to V-shaped notch failure. The effect of elastic modulus on the failure mode is weak, and the influence of rock layer dip angle is complex.

Experimental study on the effect of water on mechanical properties of swelling mudstone

Chang-Dong Liu et al.

Summary: Water significantly affects the mechanical properties of swelling mudstone, leading to a decrease in various strengths and elastic modulus with increasing water content, as well as a complex trend in peak strain. The internal friction angle remains unchanged, while cohesion decreases with higher water content. The deterioration of cohesion was explained through scanning electron microscopy tests, and an empirical formula for predicting the mechanical properties of swelling mudstone was established.
