Viscos-elastic-plastic solution for deep buried tunnels considering tunnel face effect and sequential installation of double linings

Zhaofei Chu et al.

Summary: This paper presents a time-dependent solution for circular tunnels excavated in soft rock under high in situ stress. The solution takes into account both the process of longitudinal excavation and the sequential installation of elastic linings. By dividing the solution into two stages and considering the rheological properties of the rock, explicit expressions for tunnel convergences and support loads are derived. The proposed solution is validated through comparison with numerical results and previous solutions, and parametric studies are conducted to analyze the effects of different stages and solutions.

A FDEM approach to study mechanical and fracturing responses of geo-materials with high inclusion contents using a novel reconstruction strategy

Yuexiang Lin et al.

Summary: In this paper, a detailed FDEM approach is developed to simulate the mechanical and fracturing responses of heterogeneous geomaterials with irregular inclusions. The approach includes obtaining the inclusion surface morphology, controlling mesh quality using the CWSVM method, approximating inclusion distribution using the SDF-DEM method, and integrating cohesive elements in the FDEM model. The proposed approach is verified through comparison with experimental results and analyzed for the effects of interface strength on the mechanical and fracturing characteristics of inclusion-containing geomaterials.

A bond-level energy-based peridynamics for mixed-mode fracture in rocks

Yunteng Wang et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on the numerical simulation of mixed mode fracture in rocks. A bond-level energy-based peridynamic model is developed, which includes a dilatation function to capture both volumetric and deviatoric deformations. Nonlocal stresses are then defined to obtain forces that correspond to the deformations. A new failure model is proposed to connect computational peridynamics with phenomenological failure criteria, making it applicable to both brittle and quasi-brittle rocks. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model.

Rockburst in underground excavations: A review of mechanism, classification, and prediction methods

Mahdi Askaripour et al.

Summary: Technical challenges in underground mining increase in complexity as mining goes deeper. One major challenge is rock mass stability and the risk of rockburst events. To overcome these challenges, advanced solutions and best practices must be developed. Rockbursts are common in underground mines and pose a threat to safety and operations. Understanding the conditions and mechanisms leading to rockbursts, and improving risk assessment methods, is necessary. This paper provides a summary of the current understanding of rockbursts in the mining industry, discusses their classifications and mechanisms, and reviews empirical prediction methods.

Parameter studies on the mineral boundary strength influencing the fracturing of the crystalline rock based on a novel Grain-Based Model

Song Wang et al.

Summary: The novel grain-based model (nGBM) composed of the Flat-Joint (FJ) and the SJ was proposed to solve the microcracking process of brittle rocks in the original GBM. The nGBM was established and calibrated based on properties of Alxa porphyritic granite, and simulation tests showed complicated relationships between mineral boundary properties and mechanical behaviors. This study provides valuable insights into the micromechanical damage process of crystalline rocks and serves as a reference for model calibration.
