Three-dimensional tunnel face extrusion and reinforcement effects of underground excavations in deep rock masses

Wuqiang Cai et al.

Summary: This study developed a digital acquisition technique and established a 3D numerical modeling to investigate the spatial effects and mechanisms of deep tunnel excavation. The results showed significant differences in deformations between 2D and 3D strength criteria in deep tunneling, as well as a clear relationship between pre-extrusion and pre-convergence deformations.

A new iteration clustering method for rock discontinuity sets considering discontinuity trace lengths and orientations

Tiexin Liu et al.

Summary: A new iteration clustering method for discontinuity clustering was proposed and its characteristics were analyzed. The results show that considering the distribution of trace lengths can enhance precision by 10%, the assumed specific distribution of trace lengths does not significantly affect the improvement of precision, and the method can effectively alleviate the problem of hard boundaries.

Estimation of Fracture Orientation Distributions from a Sampling Window Based on Geometric Probabilistic Method

Qi Zhang et al.

Summary: Accurate orientation distributions are crucial for generating a reliable discrete fracture network (DFN) model for rock mass. The proposed method for estimating 3D fracture orientation distributions reduces sampling bias and is compared with Terzaghi family methods, showing a good match with true distributions. Additionally, the method is validated with stochastic fracture networks, demonstrating significant results in estimating continuous orientation distributions.
