Show Abstract

Based on the poroelastic theory and the anisotropic linear elastic mechanicsand considering the influence of fluid components in porous media and coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical(THM) functionthe porothermoelastic governing equations of anisotropic porous media is established. The constitutive equations and porothermoelastic mechanical model in borehole coordinates are obtained by adopting coordinate transformation methods under the assumption that shale formation is considered transverse isotropic media. The basic methods of solving are given by superposition principleand the strength theory of weak plane is introduced to distinguish stability of shale formation. Finallythe accuracy of the model is verified by the stress distribution around a vertical borehole and the instance analysis of well W201H1. The result shows that the calculated stress around the vertical borehole is completely consistent between conventional model and this new model(max. error is 0.03%)and the analysis results of wellbore stability for well W201H1 have a good consistency with practical situations. Converselythe calculated results using conventional model will result in a large deviationand the accuracy and reliability of the model are verified. As time goes onthe collapse areas around the borehole are gradually broadened and deepened. The anisotropic rock strengthanisotropic rock elasticityseepage effects and heat-transfer effects around borehole are the important reasons affecting wellbore instability in shale formations. Howeveranisotropic rock strength is the main mechanism of borehole instability. Thusit¢s necessary to consider the influence of shale anisotropy and coupled THM effects on borehole stability. The research results can provide a reference for borehole stability analysis and drilling in the gas shale formations.

Show Abstract

In order to investigate the initiation modes of hydro-fractures in horizontal wellsLaboratory hydraulic fracturing test was carried out using outcrop shelly limestone to simulate horizontal well hydraulic fracturing. The phenomena of fracture initiation and propagation around the horizontal wellbore were described and analysed by adding tracer to the fracturing fluidanalysing pumping curvearranging AE monitoring system and splitting sample after test. Conclusions are as follows(1) The initiation modes of hydro-fractures could be divided into three typesone transverse fracture(mode I)transverse multi-fractures(Mode II)transverse-longitudinal crossed fractures(Mode III). (2) Each hydro-fracture initiation mode has its certain pumping curves. Mode I had a low breakdown pressure followed by a sharp drop. Mode II had a relatively high breakdown pressurethen the pressure went up and fluctuated dramatically. Mode III also had a high breakdown pressurebut the pressure fluctuated slightly. (3) Among the specimensthe three initiation modes occurred randomly and the breakdown pressures were dispersed. (4) The AE activity could reflect the initiation and propagation of hydro-fractures and reached its peak value at the fracture initiation moment. (5) The area in which AE events concentrated was in agreement with the actual location of the hydro-fractures. AE locating results could be used to preliminary judge the distribution of hydro-fractures. (6) One transverse hydro-fracture was more likely to be formed at relatively high pumping ratewhile the fracture geometry tended to be complex at relatively low pumping rate. Pumping rate is a key factor to determine the initiation mode. (7) It may be feasible to conjecture the initiation and propagation of the hydro-fractures using site fracturing pumping curves.

Show Abstract

Using independent developmental coal-rock microscopic shear testing devicethe shear tests under different loading rates were carried out. An in-depth research on micro-crack propagation process and micro-crack extension space distribution was conducted by the acoustic emission technique as well as image processing technique. The result shows that the shear strength of sandstone increases with the increase of the loading rateand presenting a linear relation. For double sheared sandstonecrack propagation and penetration on both sides are not synchronizedand the growth of micro fissure on the one side became more rapid because of the stress concentration caused by the crack damage on the other side. The formation time of penetrating main crack shortened greatly. The micro-crack initiation positions which were generally located at a point or points near the pre-shear plane extended in the vertical direction substantially. Meanwhilethe closer micro-cracks interacted with each other until penetrating to a whole crack. During the process of micro-crack propagation of sandstonethe vertical micro-cracks turned into lateral bifurcation cracksand the micro-cracks which are perpendicular to the vertical direction stopped expansion. The failure modes are detourpinningholding bifurcationinduced bifurcationhackstop detourhook back etc.mainly detour and pinning.

Rock avalanche rock debris caused by rock collapse is very dangerous geological disasters. The debris flow with a sudden can achieve high speed in a very short period of timeand the rocks and detrital material move to a very far distancethe damage and effect range are very great. In order to study the different sizes of rock avalanche flow distance of migration and accumulation characteristicswe have carried out the rock avalanche physical model test of small scale with five different particle sizes of rock detritus dry unconfined particle materials. Experimental results show that under the same test conditionsrock particle size influence on sliding distance and the equivalent friction coefficient is larger. The larger the rock particle sizethe greater the sliding distance and pile lengththe smaller the equivalent friction coefficient. Five different rock particle sizes are similar of the accumulation form and accumulation width increases along with the increase of particle size. The measured rock particle velocity is greater than the collapse theory calculated value.

Show Abstract

With combination of typical rockburst cases happened in deep tunnels of Jinping II hydropower stationformation mechanism and function mechanism of structural plane of slab buckling rockburst were analyzed. The research shows that slabbing failure of surrounding rock is caused by excavation unloading and the action of the tangential concentrated stress will lead to the buckling deformation of slabs towards the excavation space as well as growing strain energy stored in the slabs. When the amount of energy stored in the slabbing rock structure exceeds its energy storage limitationor due to external disturbancesslab buckling rockburs will take place with the characteristics of crushing of slabs and ejection of rock. The gradual failure process of slabbing failure makes the structural planes be active. The existence and extension of structural planes will reduce the stability of slabbing rock structure which in turn promotes the occurrence of rockburst. The structural planes with different inclination angles play different roles in the formation of slab buckling rockburst. Slabbing specimens were made according to the architectural feature of slabbing surrounding rock and physical simulation tests of slab buckling rockburst were conducted under two different loading modes. The experiment results show that propagation of pre-existing fissures makes the specimens split into slabsand further action of compression load cause buckling deformation of slabs towards the free face which leads to the instability destruction phenomenon of specimens characterized by crushing of slabs and ejection of rock. The research results have an important significance for  understanding and support control of slab buckling rockburst.

Show Abstract
Direct shear test on non-coplanar intermittent jointed rock was simulated by DEM,where a zero-thickness bond model containing rolling resistance based on experimental data was implemented. The influences of joint inclination angle,normal stress and joint spacing on mechanics and failure behaviors of non-coplanar intermittent jointed rock were investigated from both the macroscopic and microscopic points of view. The simulated results show that the failure of non-coplanar intermittent jointed rock is initiated by the formation of wing cracks,which start from the existing joints caused by tension stress. With the increase of shear displacement,the wing cracks propagate along the direction of the maximum compressive stress and break through the rock bridge in the end. The peak shear stress increases with the increase of joint inclination angle and normal stress,but almost remains unchanged with the increase of joint spacing.

Show Abstract

According to experimental data of joint normal cyclic loading/unloadingjoint normal stiffness expressions are gained from hyperbolic function and semi-log function respectively which are used to fit joint normal stiffness-closure curves. These expressions are implemented into continuously yielding joint model and cyclic loading/unloading programs are edited by FISH language embedded within three-dimensional distinct element code(3DEC). The numerical simulation of a rock joint under normal cyclic loading/unloading is conducted. The results show that the numerical simulation method in this paper is valid and that joint normal stiffness values gained from hyperbolic function are different from semi-log functionbut both of normal stress-closure curves from two functions are really close to laboratory test results and meet joint properties under normal cyclic loading/unloading. The results can finally lay a foundation for studies on the dynamic properties of rock massthe dynamic response analysis and the assessment of stability and safety of slope in rock mass engineering.

For a case of circular deep-buried tunnelcracking extent and extending length in surrounding rock masses under blasting and TBM methods are calculatedand energy dissipation during the cracking of surrounding rock masses is analyzed. In additionbased on the index of releasable strain energyrank and position of rockbursts are determined. Results show thatcompared with the quasi-static unloading of in-situ stress caused by tunnel boring machine excavationthe transient release of in-situ stress induced by blasting excavation aggravates the cracking in surrounding rock massesand enlarges the energy dissipation during this process. This minifies the releasable strain energy after the excavation unloading and brings down the risk of time delayed rockburstswhile during the transient release of in-situ stressinfluenced by high aggregation of energythe releasable strain energy is enhancedand the risk of immediate rockbursts is enlarged for the blasting excavation.

Show Abstract

The model test is an effective method of the study on vibration and damage characteristics of the frozen wall in the process of blasting excavation. This physical model test scheme was designed in accordance with similarity theory. The frozen model was excavated by blastingmeanwhilerecorded the vibration information of key points. The regression analysis determined the fitting formula of velocity and main frequencyas well as the relationship between the main frequency and the peak velocity. Using the predictive value of the main frequency to back calculate vibration velocity of the appointed points on the frozen wallcompared with the blasting allowable safety vibration velocity from Blasting Safety Regulation(GB 67222014)The results show that the vibration regularity meet the Sadov¢s formula and the frequency meet the similarity criterion formula. Then the velocity and frequency attenuation characteristic of frozen wall is obtained. On the basis of field test resultsit is feasible to evaluate rock damage based on the blasting allowable safety vibration velocity. The problem of the safety evaluation of the frozen wall after quantitative consideration of the main frequency effects was solved. The conclusions can provide some scientific references for frozen rock blasting in shaft for the similar strata.

Show Abstract

Frost heave force should be considered when designing a cold-region tunnelso as to prevent frost damage. The anisotropic frost heave of surrounding rock of cold region tunnel is described. The analytical solution for the frost heave force of a cold-region tunnel is derived using the non-uniform frost heave coefficient kin which the anisotropic frost heave expansion is considered. When k = 1the frost heave expansion is isotropicand the analytical solution derived in this paper is equivalent to LAI Yuanming¢s solution. Theoretical analyses and calculation analyses show thatthere is no frost heave force on the circular tunnel liner if the frost heave expansion is isotropic. The example given by LAI Yuanming¢s paper presents a frost heave forcein which the elastic modulus of the frozen surrounding rock in the example is smaller than the modulus of unfrozen surrounding rockwhich contradicts with the actual situation. The assumptions of the frost heave behavior in other analytical solutions are not in accordance with the actual situationcausing the overestimation of the frost heave force. The anisotropic frost heave of surrounding rock is an important reason causing the frost heave force on cold region tunnel. When the values of the surrounding rock modulus and the non-uniform frost heave coefficient are within their reasonable value rangesthe results of present solution agrees well with the actual situation. As k gets biggerthe liner would be pressed by the frost heave forceand the value of the force increases simultaneously with k. When the value of k is determinedthe frost heave force is in inverse linear relationship with the elastic modulus ratio of the frozen and non-frozen surrounding rock EII/EIII.

Show Abstract

The deformation and failure of rock are closely relative to the change of energy in the loading process. In order to study the influences of different water chemical solutions on mechanical properties and energy mechanism of calcareous sandstoneuniaxial compression test is carried out under chemical corrosion and natural samples by WDT1500 reactive material testing machine. The experimental results show that the water chemical solution has a significant effect on the strength and deformation characteristics of calcareous sandstone. The corrosion strength characteristics and anti deformation ability of specimens have different degrees of deterioration after the corrosionand it has the obvious stage to time. There is the clear BDT(brittle-ductile transformation) property in the test. The corresponding portions of the strain energy of chemical corroded sandstone specimens are less than corresponding values of natural specimens. The energy stored by the form of releasable elastic strain energy percentage of the absorbed strain energy decreasesand the longer the chemical corrosionthe smaller the Ue/U. The effects of pHconcentration and composition of chemical solution on the corresponding portions of the strain energy at peak stress are significantwhich shows that water chemical solution has obvious influence on the total absorbed energy U and energy storage limit. The longer the chemical corrosionthe stronger corrosion degree of the same chemical solution on sandstone specimensand the total absorbed energy U and dissipated energy increasebut the time effect of releasable elastic strain energy is not obvious. The real-time evolution process of calcareous sandstone specimens can be divided into different stages.

Quantitative study was conducted on the GSI score chart in the Hoek-Brown criterion. A new quantitative GSI chart was established and the problem that volumetric joint count of rock mass could not be accurately determined was solved. The rock mass integrity index was used to replace the rock mass volume in order to solve the problem in proper quantitative value determination for the rock mass integrity. This chart also applied the interval number theory to indicate the uncertainty of the geological strength indexwhich was better in line with the actual situation of onsite value determination for the mechanical parameters of rock mass. It took into account the operability in selective acquisition of field test data and combined multiple indexes to determine the final intersection set of GSIensuring the reasonableness of quantitative GSI value determination and providing a theoretical basis and a transition bridge for proper acquisition of field mechanical parameters of rock mass based on indoor rock mechanics tests.

In order to investigate the permeability properties of low-permeability rock during the whole process of creepa series of triaxial creep tests for monzonitic granite with different confining pressures and seepage pressures are carried out using the multi-step loading procedure. Based on the experimental resultsthe permeability evolution law of the low-permeability rock during the creep period was analyzedespecially under the low stress level and failure stress level. The relation between permeability and volumetric strain was also discussed. The results show that the permeability keeps steady under low stress levelwhile increases significantly as the stress level reaches to the failure stress. Meanwhilethe rate of permeability change has a similar law with the creep strain rate. The permeability experiences with a trend of nonlinear decreasing rate in a primary creep stagegrows linearly in a secondary creep stageand finally exhibits an accelerated increasing rate when tertiary creep occurs.

Soil material mechanical characteristics are affected by waterwhich is the intrinsic factor of debris flow initiation. In order to investigate the affect and demonstrate the debris flow initiation mechanisman apparatus  named Vane shear rheomete which was improved by the four-bladed vane and used to carry out the loading-unloading test on the fine granular soil(d1m m). In the testthe relationships between shear stress and strain have been checked as in 5 levels of water content. The test data reveal that the strain of soil material converge to a certain value under low water content and the test loadingand the value increases as the water content increasing. While the water content reaches a certain level (28.8% in the testnamed initiation level)the strain will diverge and eventually result in initiation. Those results mean that the debris flow initiation results from the rehology with the high water content. It is found that the rehology can be described by an improved Bingham model which was promoted. The model parameters were calculated by the test data and coherence between model and test data were checkedwhich shows the test and model can be used to demonstrate the debris flow initiation.

By means of model experimentthe effect of deformation joints on road tunnel resisting destruction by thrust fault stick-slip dislocation is analyzed. Considering two different cases(tunnel with and without deformation joints)we focus on the following characteristics caused by thrust fault stick-slip dislocationground deformationstrain of tunnelfailure characteristics of tunnel. The results show that deformation joints make tunnel liner avoid the direct shear force. The maximum longitudinal strain at the top of the tunnel with deformation joints is 1/7 of that without deformation joints. Deformation joints significantly decrease the maximum longitudinal strain in tunnel linerimproving the distribution of longitudinal strain. Deformation joints improve the failure mode of tunnelmaking the degree of damage lighter than tunnel without deformation joints obviously. Tunnel sections do not collapsethe damage focuses on area nearby the deformation joints in the range of fracture zone.

In the region of slab-rent structure rock massthe representative rock blocks(i.e.slab rupture protolith)in which the slab rupture has occurredwere selected. To obtain the anisotropic properties for related strength parametersthe uniaxial compression tests with the loading direction vertical and parallel to slab rupture direction are performed. At the same timethe analysis of mesoscopic morphology of rupture surface is conducted using scanning electron microscope(SEM). In order to provide the theoretical basis for the rock mass slab rupturewe try to explore the potential inherent connection among the rock mass slab rupturerock mechanical properties and its composition. The study shows thatthe protolith with slab rupture has anisotropic characteristics and close relation with the direction of slab ruptureunder the same magnitude of loadthe load parallel to the direction of slab rupture is more likely to cause deformation and failure of potential slab-rent rock mass than the load vertical to the slab rupture directionwhen the load is vertical to the direction of slab rupturethe rupture surface often shows both transgranular and intergranular fratures but the latter one dominateswhen the load is parallel to the direction of slab rupturethe rupture surface is relative smooth and the area with intergranular fracture is larger than the area with transgranular fracturethe defects and damage in the slab rupture protolith are nearly parallel to the direction of slab ruptureand they are not only the foundation of slab rupturebut also be further developed due to the occurrence of slab rupture.

Existing studies on hydraulic fracturing are mainly based on macroscopic continuum method. It is difficult to reveal the microscopic mechanism of hydraulic fracturing. Taking advantage of PFC in modeling material failure and crack propagationwe developed a coupled PFC-CFD method for analyzing crack propagation in meso-level and verified by a simplified model test of a cylinder rock specimen. Then taking a tunnel project for examplewe simulate the crack propagation in the process of tunnel excavation used this method and analyze the effects of the distance between the tunnel face and the high-pressure water source on the crack propagation in unsteady state seepage stage. The result shows that the coupled method is very suitable to simulate the processes of hydraulic fracturing in rock and could be applied to safety assessment in tunnel projects.

Constant amplitude cyclic loading and unloading and tiered cyclic loading and unloading have some same rules. The difference is that when complete unloaded(loading is 0 kN) and fully loaded(loading is 35 kN in the first level of fully loading) at the first three cycles the resistivity is uccessive to decrease, while at the latter two cycles increases slightly. In the process of destructiveness loadingit also exists a fast falling period at the beginning of loading. An explanation for resistivity change rule of the two process of cyclic loading at same time by using mechanism of microfissuring closure under cyclic loading is given. Experimental research shows that rock resistivity change can provide a good characterization to microfissuring development situation in rock in the process of constant amplitude cyclic loading and unloading and tiered cyclic loading and unloading.

Wave propagation across rock masses and the induced ground motion have a great influence in the design and construction of underground cavern/tunnel constructions and mining activities. When arriving at the ground surfacethe waves will cause the ground motion which is threatening to the stability and safety of the ground buildings. The present investigation was concerned with the interaction between the blast wave and a natural structural plane by using a time-domain recursive method. Based on the conservation of momentum at wave frontstwo types of interaction were analyzed firsti.e. the interaction between blast wave(i.e. longitudinal wave) and a linearly elastic structural planethe interaction between stress waves(longitudinal wave or transverse wave) and a free surface. Nextwave propagation between a single structure plane and the ground surface was analyzed. Considering the time shifting functionthe wave propagation equation for every wave arrival at the ground surface was established. On the basis of the derived wave propagation equationsthe mathematical expressions were deduced for ground surface vibration caused by stress waves. As the result of the wave superpositionthe particle velocity on the ground surface is subsequently obtained.

Show Abstract

The cracked chevron notched Brazilian disc(CCNBD) methodwhich is suggested by the International Society for Rock Mechanics(ISRM) for measuring mode-I fracture toughness of rockswas numerically investigated by a code based on microscopic damage mechanics. Varying notch widthsample geometriesmaterial parameters and inhomogeneity are consideredand the progressive fracture process of the CCNBD specimen was intuitively presented. Through the simulated stress distributions and acoustic emission activitiesthe straight- through crack assumption(STCA) was strictly assessedwhich is used by traditional methods for calibrating the dimensionless stress intensity factor(SIF). Numerical results show thatcrack fronts of CCNBD specimens are always curved regardless of rock heterogeneitysignificantly violating the STCA. For the specimen with a more slender chevron ligamentthe crack front is curved more severely. Traditional critical SIFs are found to be only 90 to 95 percent of the values that are calibrated by utilizing the simulated critical crack fronts. CCNBD samples always crack from two sides of the notch width of the chevron ligament tipand thus the specimens with relatively smaller notch width are suggestedso that the realistic fracture route of CCNBD can align well with the ideal test principle. The numerical results call for more attention to the real fracture mechanism of the chevron notched samples. A better calibration of dimensionless SIFs should consider more realistic fracture characteristics for a better measure of fracture toughness.

To deal with the issue of stress sensitivity of cracksa physical model with known crack parameters has been set up and then the crack closure pressure was calculated based on the effective pressure-compressional wave velocity response curve. Following this approachthe experiments were designed using controlling variable method to study the effects of the initial crack aspect ratio and crack dip on the crack closure pressure. The experimental results indicated that the closure pressure increases as the initial crack aspect ratio increases. When the uniaxial pressure is not perpendicular to the crack surfacethe uniaxial pressure should be resolvedand the crack begins to close when the angle reaches Byerlee¢s critical angleand the closure pressure becomes higher as the angle increases.

Show Abstract

There exist some probability distributions for describing rock discontinuitye.g.Fisher distributionBingham distributionand bivariate normal distribution. But in reality they are not suitable to represent the statistical characteristics of rock discontinuity orientation data in most cases. In such cases one should use the bivariate empirical distributions obtained for the discontinuity orientations in representing the statistical distributions of discontinuity orientations. The paper introduces the empirical bivariate distribution into the Monte Carlo simulation(MSC) of rock discontinuity orientations and develops a corresponding computer codenamed as EMCSDO. EMCSDO is a freeware designed for researchers and practicing engineersand can be easily mastered by them with little computer knowledge. Two examples with satisfactory results are presented to show the validity of the code. The second example also show if a theoretical distribution can be found to fit discontinuity orientations wellwe should prefer to use the theoretical distribution to simulate the orientations based on Monte Carlo technique.

The drainage of blind tube and isolation effect of waterproof board are two key scientific problems for tunnels in water-bearing stratum during construction. Analytical formula was derived based on drainage of blind tube and isolation effect of waterproof board. It involves the seepage field and water pressure ratio of support systems by considering the drainage of blind tube and isolation effect of waterproof board. The concept of blind tube hydraulic conductivity is introduced. The interactions among drain discharge,waterproof board and supporting system are obtained quantitatively. It can be applied for active control of drainage with blind pipe. The law of bearing water load of supporting system is studied under condition of different hydraulic conductivities of blind tube. In terms of Qilianshan tunnel on high-speed railway,the relationships are determined among drainage with blind pipe,external water pressure of lining and reduction factors. It could implement active drainage with blind pipe and accord with actual situation. Rational thickness and permeability coefficients of grouting reinforced region are put forward. With increasing water pressure,unfavorable position of lining transfers from arch to invert. Shearing-compression failure appears at wall-footing. Flexural failure takes place at invert as well. The ultimate bearing capacity of lining has been determined. Not only is it fit for deep tunnel in water-bearing stratum,but can be as reference for similar engineering.

Show Abstract
This paper dealt with the dynamic strength enhancement mechanism of rock-concrete-like nonuniform brittle materials. The theoretical analysis of failure morphology of the specially designed three-point bending beam was made under different loading rates,and putted forward the root of dynamic strength enhancement as results of the combined effect of materials inhomogeneity and inertia force,and held that the static and dynamic strengths of this kind of material were related with the crack path at failure. When in static loading,the cracks of concrete growing through the thin-weak interface of the material,so that it needed minimum energy at material failure. Under the action of dynamic loading,the cracks of concrete developed along the shortest pathway in such a way that cracks can cut parts of aggregates,and the energy needed for material failure was raised correspondingly,the contribution of materials inhomogeneity to the enhancement of dynamic strength had emerged,the inertial effect remarkably increased with the increasing of loading rate. When the loading rate exceeded a critical value,the dynamic strength caused by materials inhomogeneity would not increase,thereby,only the contribution of inertial effect played a role in the dynamic strength enhancement. The theory proposed in this paper was verified by means of the specially designed quasi-static loading test and different loading rates impact test for nonuniform brittle materials three-point bending beam,and the results were basically in accordance with the theoretical assumption.

With the increase of saturated time,dissipation rate and transmissivity are gradually reduced,the transmission rate are increasing. With the increase of saturated time,the energy density of the samples is gradually reduced,and the dynamic strength is reduced,the weakening effect was presented of saturated for the strength of coal samples. Under the condition of the same energy density,the average particle size of coal sample under the natural state is greater than the saturated 3,7 days,the negatively correlated between energy density and crushing granularity were presented,both have good linear relation. The fitting curve is obviously low of energy density and fragmentation of the saturated 3 and 7 days coal sample. The water has a significant effect on crushing particle size. The fractal dimension of the coal sample is 1.67–2.25,the average fractal dimension of coal sample under natural state is less than the saturated 3 and 7 days. With the increase of energy density,the fractal dimension of coal samples is increased.

Show Abstract
During field scale model test of tunnel-type anchorage,the deformation of anchorage and surrounding rock are monitored by multipoint displacement meter,the strain of anchorage are monitored by strain gauge,the deformation and its history of anchorage and surrounding rock are monitored by AE. Then,3D numerical simulation of test are also performed,the analysis is focused on the deformation and stress characteristics of tunnel-type anchorage. The results show that anchorage model undergo four phases in turn:When the load is less than 5.8–7.1 MN,the deformation of anchorage model is in elastic phase. When the load is less than 19.5 MN,the deformation of tunnel-type anchorage model is in elastic-plastic phase. When the load is greater than 19.5 MN and less than 23.7 MN,the deformation of tunnel-type anchorage mode is in the yield phase. When the load is greater than 23.7 MN,the deformation of tunnel-type anchorage mode is in rheological phase. And according to the developing of the plastic zone,the potential slip surface of tunnel-type anchorage is the bottom contact surface between anchorage and the rock mass. Rock mass above the rear anchorage would be damaged due to excessive tensile stress,which can lead to instability of tunnel-type anchorage.

Show Abstract
Impounding deformation of slope and foundation is a noteworthy problem during construction and operation periods of high arch dams. Reservoir impoundment is accompanied with various impacts,including material degradation,effective stress decreasing and buoyancy in rock masses. These phenomena are related with some engineering concerns like landslide,dam stability and reservoir-induced earthquake. However,research on mechanism of impounding effects is still limited. By extending the strength reduction method(SRM) in slope limit analysis,a modified method named stiffness and strength reduction method(SSRM) is proposed and implemented in FEM codes to simulate material degradation. Moreover,the expression of effective stress for fractured rock mass with fluid is incorporated into the Drucker-Prager criterion. Based on monitoring data of left bank slope deformation and valley width reduction of Jinping I arch dam,the above two methods are applied in the analysis of impounding influence of slope and foundation. Results show that the dam has good capability against slope deformation,with displacement and stress fields locally changed.

Show Abstract
Support crushing disaster caused by dynamic load of main roof is a challenge in high-intensity mining face,theoretical analysis,laboratory test and in-situ monitoring were carried out for analyzing occurred conditions,mechanism and affecting factors of the dynamic impact effect. Nonideal rigid system made up of different strata provided conditions for dynamic failure of surrounding rock,fold catastrophe model of main roofs dynamic fracture was built and main roof showed dynamic fracture because its softening modulus was larger than elastic modulus. With elastic-plastic analysis of main roof,calculation formulas of dissipated plastic power,fracture surface energy and kinetic energy of the block were put forward. Two kinds of roof structures including that fracture line was ahead of mining face or located above the coal wall correctly were built. Then roof structures leading to dynamic impact effect and the impact force were obtained. Increase of advancing speed was equivalent to upgrading the cantilever beams loading speed,and thus amplifying the strain energy stored in main roof and also improving the blocks kinetic energy proportion of the total strain energy. As a result,the probability of main roofs dynamic fracture was magnified. Finally,conclusions were successfully applied into Wangzhuang coal mine and surrounding rock controlling technology and its effect were improved.

Show Abstract
How to reasonably determine the Biot coefficient of reservoir is rather essential for wellbore stability analysis. This study tests the Biot coefficient of natural cores with different permeability through respectively Cross-plotting method,drainaging experimentation and sonic dynamic method. The results show that it is for cores with middle and high permeability(is Biot coefficient by Cross-plotting experiment,is Biot coefficient by drainage experiment, is Biot coefficient by sonic dynamic experiment),while due to poor flowing capacity low permeability cores cannot get the Biot coefficient by the drainaging experimentation;taking the result of Cross-plotting method as the example,Biot coefficient for cores with high permeability distributes in the range of 0.90 to 1.00,that for cores with middle permeability is between 0.90 to 0.80,and that for low permeability is from 0.60 to 0.75;besides,it is recommended that under the allowed experimental conditions cores with middle or high permeability such as sandstones can obtain Biot coefficient by the drainaging method,while cores with low permeability such as shale,tight gas rocks should test Biot coefficient by the Cross-plotting method;finally,it discusses the factors from internal and external aspects on Biot coefficient. The research results will provide a good theoretical support for the analysis on the wellbore stability in deep and ultra deep wells.

Show Abstract
In order to overcome the insufficiency of the existing double reduction factors method to determine the double safety factors and based on the assumption that the distribution of the strength parameters obeys linear attenuation,the non-proportional relationship between the reduction factor of cohesion and the reduction factor of internal friction angle is deduced. Then we introduce this relationship into conventional strength reduction FEM,and propose strength parameters non-proportional associated reduction FEM. Then strength parameters non-proportional associated reduction FEM based on field variable is realized by using finite element software ABAQUS,thus the efficiency of calculation is improved in the determination of double safety factors. In order to evaluate the slope stability,comprehensive safety factor is proposed. The safety factor is based on shear strength parameters contributing to the resistant shear force. Finally,combined with an example and the comparative analysis of the position of slip surface and the comprehensive safety factor in three kinds of different reduction ways,the rationality and reliability of the method was verified.

Show Abstract
Due to the stress concentration of coal pillar arranged in the upper coal seam during the extraction of closed coal seam,the accumulated energy in coal pillar could induce coal bump in the mining face and roadway if the position of roadway was unreasonably arranged and designed. Based on the geological condition of No.2 coal mining in Anjialing,the physical model was established to determine the energy release in coal pillar during extraction of closed coal seam and investigate the reasonable position of mining roadway in the under coal seam. It was suggested from the physical model and field test that degree of energy release during the extraction of under coal seam was greater than that of upper coal seam. The reason was that the stress concentration of coal pillar induced by the movement of overlying rock strata was serious during the extraction of under coal seam. The physical model revealed that the reasonable distance between roadway and coal pillar was approximate greater than 8 m. The field test results obtained from roadway displacement and the geological radar suggested that the roadway was stable when the reasonable distance was greater than 8 m.

Show Abstract
Since karst seepage channels may be formed by the thorough karst limestone formations,which existing on the flimsy left river bend of head area of Guandi reservoir,farther research on these formations should be carried out. The difficulties in the process of research are the development degree and the forming process mechanism of the karst formation,which directly related to the treatment of antiseepage project and the safety issues during project operation. After adopting methods of macro-geological survey,exploration,groundwater level observation,and water chemistry testing,this paper basically ascertained the geological background and features of karst development,and the karst hydrogeological conditions etc. It emphatically researched the forming process mechanism of karst,adopting seepage field numerical simulation analysis combined with engineering experience,considering reservoir leakage is less likely to happen in the future. It proposed that anti-seepage project should depend on the long-term groundwater monitoring. The groundwater level monitoring after impoundment verified pre-analysis. The reservoir did not produce leakage along the flimsy river bend area,therefore,the anti-seepage project need not to be carried out,saving billions of project investment with significant economic benefits. The case in this paper can provide reference for similar major reservoir construction. The research methods and mentality can also be instructive.

Show Abstract
Borehole camera technology has been widely applied to various underground survey field,however,actual survey environment is often restricted by external factors and there is a difference between actual survey environment and theory survey environment,resulting in errors of the actual survey value. Therefore,according to the basic principle of borehole camera technology,we carry out the theoretical error analysis of two kinds of borehole television which may exist in the actual survey engineering and scientific research,and focuses on the systematical study when the probe is in no central of the borehole,calculating the error of fracture width,structural plane tendency,inclination and the width of structural plane on borehole wall,besides,analyzing the error influence brought by the survey speed,and giving recommendations of the survey speed. Through the above study,the conclusion can be drawn:(1) It is very small error when the probe of digital panoramic borehole camera is not in the drilling center and almost does not affect the survey accuracy and precision of the system;(2) The digital borehole camera is more accurate than axial view panoramic borehole TV;(3) The digital panoramic borehole camera system is more suitable for the investigation of structural plane;(4) The survey speed of borehole camera is suggested to be 1.5 m/min.

Show Abstract
The force form of the surrounding rocks in underground engineering is coupled static-dynamic loads after true triaxial unloading-loading. The mechanical properties of the surrounding rock under frequent disturbance are easy to be degraded,which can induce engineering disasters such as rock burst and so on. Based on the complex stress environment of surrounding rocks,rock failure tests under the complex true triaxial pre-stressed path and local dynamic disturbance were carried out. The test results show that rock failure occurred when the amplitude of the local dynamic load was in a relatively large level,and the failure mode is splitting tensile failure. PFC3D was used to reappear the lab experiment and study the microscopic characteristics of rock failure under dynamic disturbance. When the amplitude of the local dynamic load was less than 250 kN,both shear cracks and tensile cracks were triggered and their number keep stable. When the amplitude of the local dynamic load was 300 kN,the shear cracks and the tensile cracks spread from the perturbation load position to the entire specimen. The number of tensile cracks exceeded the number of shear cracks while the rock got final failure. The results of lab test and simulation are consistent.

Show Abstract
According to theory of unloading-loading process for rock mass and grouting migration function of parallel fracture,theoretical model is established for jointed rock grouting considering one-way coupling effect of grout and rock mass,and interaction between grout and surrounding rock during grouting are carefully studied. Results show that,grouting in jointed rock mass is companied by the process of grout pressure unloading and re-loading the fracture. After the rock mass are totally unloaded,fracture aperture will increase with grout pressure. The increment drops along with spreading distance almost linearly,with a larger drop rate for smaller fracture. The unloading area is larger than grout spreading area,and the coupling effect is more obvious for smaller fractures. Adjacent fractures influence each other,leading to the larger one open further and the smaller one tends to close. Thus,spreading distance in the small fracture is limited or cannot injected,while in large the fracture grout spreads is too far and thus of no effect. Sealing efficiency cannot be improved only increase grouting pressure. Results may provide reference to jointed rock grouting project.

The landslide warning time and evolution stages obtained from the curves of acceleration,kinetic energy and its rate are in good agreement,which indicates the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed warning and forecasting method. According to the research,automatic early-warning of critical landslide sliding is expected to achieve.

Sinusoidal curved lateral resistance method(SCLRM) is the theoretical correction for triangular method. Considering the nonlinear characteristics of soft,underwater soft plastic and composite strata that the large diameter tunnel passing through,the lateral resistance was corrected in SCLRM. The theoretical formulas of SCLRM were derived and the example was shown. Based on the free-form deformation method(FFD),the internal force distribution for the lining structure were calculated using triangle method and SCLRM. The scope and restriction of the application of theory were expanded. The applicability of each lateral resistance method in actual complex formations was discussed. Comparing the measurement value with theoretical results for Nanjing subway line one,it is indicated that the internal force calculation of single round integral type shield tunnel by SCLRM having a definite procession and a small error range which are suitable for this engineering example design. Application of this example provided a theoretical reference of internal force maximum value for designing single round shield tunnel passing through the composite strata. It seems that SCLRM has the certain practicality for similar project design.

Xiluodu hydropower station on Jinsha River began to impound water in May 2013,and the deformation of four fractures increased significantly till the October 2013,which appeared a slope of the reservoir bank. So far,the amount of main fractures have increased from 4 to 9,with a tendency of continuous deformation and failure,which lead to a great inconvenience to local people and significantly influence on the normal operation of the hydropower station. Through site investigation and data analysis,the mechanism of its further evolution of the role of reservoir storage was proposed base on early formation mechanism study of the toppling deformation body. Due to influence of incised valley and special geological structure of the slope,nonuniform contraction-toppling deformation was occurred on the slope,which cause a toppling deformation body. Because of the impoundment of the reservoir,the toppling deformation was aggravated by the soft rockmass under the slope caused by water immersion. As a rare failure mode all over the world,a preliminary judgment was made for the stability of the toppling deformation slop by numerical simulations.

Quality of cap rock is a critical factor controlling the effective accumulation of natural gas for underground gas storages. In view of this,the brittleness evaluation model of cap rock is set up based on the complete stress-strain curves through lab tests. In combination with physical sealing method and rock mechanics method,a modified sealing evaluation method of cap rock is proposed. Based on the classification of the influence factors and the analysis of cap rock for gas storage of depleted gas reservoir,the index suitability standards of cap rock evaluation for gas storage are put forward. Then taking the analytic hierarchy process,a layer structural model of sealing evaluation is built and the importance weights of 12 influence factors are calculated. Combined with the importance weights of influence factors,a formula is developed to calculate the synthetical appropriate value of cap rock. This method is used to evaluate the suitability of Xing 9 gas reservoir and evaluation result of cap rock is consistent with the expert opinions,which shows that this method is reasonable.

Show Abstract
To investigate the nonlinear response of deep bedded salt cavern(group) subjected to extreme loads,the numerical model considering the complete process of water solution,cyclic operation,and internal pressure runaway was established according to the geological structure of Jintan deposit. The effects of rapid unloading on the progressive failure,the volume convergence of single and double cavern,as well as the surface subsidence were calculated utilizing a new elasto-viscoplastic damage model for rock salt. The results reveal that the damage and failure region extends much deeper in the mudstone than that in the host salt. The damage and failure volume of surrounding salt induced by unloading process is 5–10 times larger than that of 10-year cyclic injection- ejection. The average volume convergence rate of salt cavern reaches 0.012%/d–0.013%/d. It is 6.0–6.5 times faster than that caused by cyclic operation. The surface subsidence presents a typical funnel curve. The influenced range of surface subsidence due to rapid unloading is about two times the maximum cavern diameters. The double cavern analysis indicates that the interaction between adjacent caverns is not obvious given the pillar width is larger than two times the maximum cavern diameters.

Show Abstract
Affected by the rainfall and the periodic scheduling of reservoir water,some of the landslides in Three Gorges Reservoir area show the obvious step-like deformation. According to the deformation characteristics of the step-like landslides,a GA-SVM model for displacement prediction based on the response analysis of inducing factors was proposed. The landslide displacement was decomposed into trend item and periodic item by the moving average method,and the trend term displacement was predicted by the polynomial function,which is controlled by geological conditions of the landslide. As the periodic displacement is controlled by the combined action of all the inducing factors,the dominant factors were selected to establish the GA-SVM model for landslide displacement prediction. The total prediction displacement was the addition of the two items. The typical step-like landslide-Bazimen landslide-was taken as an example to make a displacement prediction by the GA-SVM model. The results showed that,the response analysis of inducing factors was the essentiality of landslide displacement prediction. The GA-SVM model based on the response of inducing factors showed great prediction performance in the step-like deformation,which is an effective displacement prediction method for the step-like landslide.

Show Abstract
Seepage deformation test methods for intercalated weak rock layer are not very matured,and there is not code for the test. Seepage deformation test and its results are presented for disturbed/undisturbed samples from faults F41 and F42 at the site of Chipwi Hydropower station planned for the upper Ayeyawdy River,mainly following the test code for soil. The results indicate that disturbed samples fails as soil flow without apparent deformation process,and the permeability differences among samples are not great. Undisturbed sample tests performed in a temporary laboratory set up at site reveal different characteristics. Main deformation is washing fine and soft mass out. Washing or local soil flow results in failure. Critical gradient is rather lower than failure gradient. Measured values are greater than that from disturbed sample tests,because undisturbed samples remain inhomogeneous internal structure and the contact status between weak layer and surrounding rock. Comparing with test results of disturbed samples,results of undisturbed samples reveal better the seepage deformation characteristics of the faults. On the basis of the test results and previous studies for other projects,test methods and the ways to apply the results are discussed. Suggestions include that integrating microscopic,meso-scopic and macroscopic study methods to reveal the seepage deformation mechanism further,taking numerical simulation to improve in-situ tests,and allowable gradient being set according to the seepage deformation process in addition to measured values with suitable safety factor corresponding to the location and harmfulness of the intercalated weak layer.

Show Abstract
The in-situ displacement monitoring was carried out according to the geological characteristics of Daliang tunnel. The monitored result shows that tunnels deformation is charactered by high velocity,long period and large value. The maximum subsidence is 55 cm,the deformation rate run up to 1.69 cm per day. The rock masss elastic-plastic mechanics parameters are deduced by the generalized Hoek-Brown criterion based on the uniaxial and triaxial compression test result. With the rock mass considered as an elasto-plastic-rheological material which conforms to the empirical rheological model,the FEM inversion analysis was conducted based on the deformation monitored,and the rock masss rheology parameters could be got. The tunnels support design could be adjusted reasonably considering the displacement,the stress distribution and the damaged zone of the rock surrounding. According to the principle of new austrian tunnelling method,a new comprehensive support measures,which consists of enlargement of the deformation allowance,pre-grouting,bottom bolts installed,steel arch,system bolts and steel fabric installed,was adopted in Daliang tunnel which has poor rock surrounding and suffers large deformation during its excavation. It was confirmed by the fact that the tunnel was very safe after its construction.

Show Abstract
To research the risk of coal overall instability of isolated working face with irregular gobs on both sides,the isolated working face 3206 of a mine in Shandong as the engineering background was studied,and the dynamic process of roof structure in irregular gobs on both sides during the period of mining working face was analyzed in this paper. Based on the technique of microseismic monitoring with high accuracy,the amount of overburden movement angle and gangue contacting angle over the gobs was got. Meanwhile,the calculative formula of bearing pressure on isolated working face of coal and the analytic method of its instability was proposed. The results showed that stress would reach a maximum when the hanging roof structure turned to the semi-hanging roof structure over gobs,while stress would reduce when the width of gobs was large enough which indicated the gobs had came into a full-mining level. Moreover,the instability coefficient in various stages was obtained during the mining based on the geological conditions of the working face 3206. The analysis results showed that: the instability would occur quite possibly when the working face was in the process of mining. However,it could be mined safely by taking the method of drilling relief with large diameter to prevent the occurrence of rock burst. Ultimately,the correctness of this paper has been confirmed by the mining practice.

Show Abstract
Reservoir compaction and surface subsidence caused by pore pressure depletion endanger oil and gas well integrity potentially. The theoretical methods of reservoir compaction prediction and well integrity assessment are scarce. According to the elastic theory of porous medium,the calculation formulas of reservoir compaction and surface subsidence are deduced. Based on the mechanical interaction of formation and well,the failure mechanisms of directional well are revealed and the quantitative assessment method of well integrity is proposed. Results indicate that casing buckling in production interval and casing collapse in reservoir are the main failure mechanisms. The countermeasures,including utilizing higher steel grade or heavy-wall casings and enhancing cementing quality,can improve well integrity. The research achievements provide the scientific bases of well integrity assessment and casing design for depleting oilfields.

Show Abstract
During the excavation of the underground caverns at Houziyan hydropower station,high in-situ stress is encountered with the maximum principle stress being 36 MPa,and numerous small-scale geological discontinuities were also uncovered. As a results,the overall deformation of surrounding rock mass is comparatively large,and severe shotcrete failures,such as swelling and cracking,occurred. In order to investigate the deformation and failure mechanisms of rock mass and shotcrete,numerical simulations of caverns excavation using 3DEC code was conducted. In this numerical model a modified strain-softening constitutive model was used to simulate the unloading mechanical behaviors of brittle hard rock,and also the modeling of discontinuities having fictitious disk-like shape were specially considered. By analysis of development processes of both the stress concentration and the tensile strain in surrounding rock mass,this study suggests that the stress-dominated failures are easy to occur in the early stage of excavation due to high in-situ stress and relatively integrated surrounding rock mass,however with further excavation the discontinuities-dominated failures will progressively prevail over the stress-dominated ones because of increasing influence of discontinuities on stability of rock mass and the interaction among adjacent caverns. By analysis of displacement distribution and axial force developed in cables,this study suggests that for powerhouse cavern the significant difference between displacements on upstream sidewall and that on downstream sidewall is caused mainly by the opening and sliding of steep discontinuities which strike parallel to axial direction of powerhouse cavern.

Show Abstract
To study the broken energy dissipation characteristics of coalmine sandstone under impact loads,variable cross-section spilt Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB) apparatus is adopted to conduct impact compressive test of sandstone specimens. Three loading impact pressures correspond to three loading rates. Then the energy dissipation rule of sandstone specimens is analyzed. The test results show that the proportion of absorbed energy and incident energy is relatively constant,and absorbed energy increases with the incident energy growing. There is a positive linear relation between broken energy dissipation density and incident energy. Moreover,there is a power relation between broken energy dissipation density and average strain rate,which shows a strong strain rate effect. The larger the broken energy dissipation density is,the more fierce the degree of specimen broken is. The average particle size of broken fragments is adopted to describe the degree of specimen broken quantitatively,and its value decreases with the broken energy dissipation growing. There is a logarithm relation between dynamic strength and broken energy dissipation density. The specimen absorbed energy is mainly used for damage evolution and deformation and fracture,and broken energy dissipation density can reflect the essential strength feature of sandstone specimens under external loads well.

Show Abstract
On the basis of systematic analysis of the change rule of displacement and rainfall and their interaction relations,this article first proposes that the increment of rainfall and displacement velocity or acceleration can be respectively taken as loading dynamic parameter and displacement response parameter,so as to establish the displacement response ratio of dynamics increment evaluation parameter and its prediction model by means of elastic-plastic theory and damage mechanics. In addition,according to the quantitative relation between the damage variable parameter of damage mechanics and the displacement response ratio of dynamics increment,the dynamic displacement destabilized criterion for this kind landslide is established. Finally,taking the typical colluvial landslide induced by rainfall in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area as an example,the continuous rainfall increasing process and its displacement response characteristics are analyzed and evaluated systematically by means of the displacement response ratio of dynamics increment model and find that the values of displacement response ratio of dynamics increment have an abrupt jump just before landslide took place,which demonstrates that the abrupt jump time agrees with the destabilized time of the landslide. The research results show that the displacement response ratio of dynamics increment is an effective dynamics displacement appraisal parameter of rainfall,so it can be used in the prediction of the landslide induced by rainfall.

Show Abstract
The basis of rock burst prevention is the identification of burst tendency. So it is very important that the identified indices are concise and rational. Based on the current analysis of burst energy indices,the time effect of both molding energy release and effectively utilized elastic energy release before coal rock peak was taken into an overall consideration. And a calculating model was set up to calculate the release speed of effectively utilized elastic energy. Also,based on the AE characteristic indices and molding energy release before the presentation of peak of recycled and unloading load,by using TYJ–500KN to control electro-hydraulic servo rock shear rheology test system recycled loading AE experiment for coal,the Section Function Calculation Formula was combined. The burst energy indexes identification experiment was carried out to confirm the reliability of the presented formula. The result shows that there is only 5.27% difference between the presentation of peak value unloading and the presentation of AE characters indices,and the two presentations prove each other. The release speed of effective elastic energy is in positive correlation with burst energy index,the uniaxial compression strength,and the effective elastic energy,but in negative correlation with time. Therefore,it is rational to identify the burst tendency by the effective elastic energy release speed.

Show Abstract
The arch foot with an expansion section can be applied to well control deformation of large-section tunnels built in soft layers. Based on previous researches,the structure of arch foot with an expansion section is further developed,it presents a method designing an anti-slide arch foot in the tunnel. The effects of the large arch foot on the deformation of the strata are studied by theoretical study,numerical calculation and field measurement. Research results show that the anti-slide arch foot in the tunnel is able to control convergence of surrounding rocks of the tunnel effectively,as well as control settlements of vault of the tunnel. It happens mainly because the anti-slide arch foot with an expansion section is inserted into the surrounding rock,which can produce lateral resistance and prevent the arch foot from moving towards the side of tunnel near the air. Furthermore,the research results reveal that the length of the arch foot is related to classification of surrounding rocks considering mechanical behavior of arch foot subjected to forces. Under the same surrounding rocks,the length of arch foot and its ends that inserted into the soil increase nonlinearly if classification of the surrounding rock varies from III to VI.

Show Abstract
The observation results of floor heave in the engineering practices of gob-side entry retaining show that floor heave mainly occurs between the first mining period and the second mining period. The floor heave amount is several hundred millimeters,account for 70% of convergence between roof and floor. The cause of floor heave is discussed. Concretely,the floor rockmass is broken after the first mining and then undergo post-peak creep under the action of the first and second mine-induced stress. The floor heave amount is affected by the lithology and stress environment of floor rockmass. Generally,it increases rapidly as the increase of broken degree and principle stress difference. Based on the characteristics of floor heave,the bolt method and steel pile method are proposed to control floor heave. The bolt method can reduce the floor heave amount by its anchoring force,while the steel pile method by its high deformation resistivity and stress arch. The control effect of latter is more significant. The technology of gob-side entry retaining can be further improved to increase the value of its engineering application by the research results.

Show Abstract
Flexural toppling failure is one of the most common types of failure in layered counter-tilt slope. The limit equilibrium method is still the most common approach in the toppling failure study at present. Firstly,Based on the cantilever beam limit equilibrium model proposed by Aydan,the toppling failure limit equilibrium equation considering the influence of block top shape,damaged step height and slope toe triangle block is established. Secondly,depending on the block stability state and failure mode,blocks above the basal plane are divided into three zones that stable zone,toppling zone and sliding zone. In addition,the boundary condition is deduced. Thirdly,based on limit equilibrium equation,the calculation method of failure basal plane for flexural toppling failure in layered counter-tilt slope is proposed and a special computer code is developed. Finally,two case studies are used for practical verification of the proposed approach as well as the parametric study is conducted. The analytical results show that the angle between the failure basal plane and the plane normal to the discontinuities nearly increases linearly with the slope cut angle while decreases with the strata thickness. The results also indicate that slope failure mode gradually transforms from toppling failure to toppling-slipping failure with the increase of slope cut angle. In addition,the steeper the slope natural angle and the larger the scope of the destruction zone.

Rock burst and large deformation coordination controlling is a common problem of thick coal seam in deep mines. The mechanism of rock burst and large deformation coordination controlling in thick coal seam of deep shaft was studied through field monitoring and theoretical analysis,and the mechanical model of gob-side entry lateral roof secondary fracture was set up. Following results were obtained:(1) In the condition of Xinjulong coal mine,the pre-relief borehole with diameter of 120 mm,depth of 25 m and spacing of 1 m was implemented,the effective pressure-relief protection area width is 10–15 m. (2) The mechanism of gob-side entry large deformation of thick coal seam in deep shaft is mainly caused by secondary breakage of roof and rotation induced by intensively venting the pulverized coal,and verified by theory. (3) The mechanism of rock burst and large deformation coordination controlling in thick coal seam of deep shaft is to determine the reasonable pressure-relief parameters. By intensively venting pulverized coal to release the expansion deformation of surrounding rock,the pressure of roadway surrounding rock is also decreased. Meanwhile,the damage level of surrounding rock structure is reduced. Field practice shows that by optimizing the parameters of supporting technology and pressure-relief,the problem of large deformation of gob-side entry can be resolved to a certain extent. The results can provide some references for rock burst and large deformation coordination controlling in thick coal seam of deep shaft.

How to complement effectively ground control has been an important and difficult issue in multiple fully-mechanized longwall mining for closed distance coal seams. Patterns of abutment pressure distribution,characteristics of hydraulic support force and condition under mined gob with longwall retreat mining should be synthetically investigated in order to prevent roof accidents such as rib spalling,roof fall and hydraulic support damage. Taking the No.5 coal seam and No.4 coal seam of Panbei mine as the background,the characteristics abutment pressure and the plastic zone in front of coal wall were deduced from theoretical formula. The mining-induced stress development,peak value and its location were obtained in front and background of No.12124 longwall panel under mined gob using FLAC3D to simulate surrounding rock mechanical characteristics. The characteristics of working resistance,maximum resistance and distribution of hydraulic support had been observed and obtained. Researches results show that abutment pressure evolution superposition mechanism has been revealed under closed distance and mine gob in thick coal seam and large dip angle with fully mechanized longwall mining. Based on comprehensively analyzing,ground control countermeasures have been put forward to increase working resistance,to push roof metal-mesh,and to enhance face guard with individual prop. And effective applications were obtained.

According to special supporting requirements in swelling,extremely soft rock roadway,for the purpose of developing shed support with high-strength,relying on moment analysis of structural mechanics,we analyzed the supports moment distribution under different lateral pressure coefficient. And we also analyzed moment distribution in 5 improved structures of different height in bottom arch,original support with floor beam,original support with roof beam,original support with floor and roof beams,original support with floor,roof beams and other ribs. The results showed that under different lateral pressure coefficient,top and bottom arch demonstrated larger moment and were the main weak plane when support destructed. There was greater impact on strength of bottom arch as height of bottom arch increasing. Based on original support,strength of bottom arch was enhanced obviously when floor beam added,but little effect on top arch and strength of top arch was enhanced obviously when roof beam added,but little effect on bottom arch. Strength of top and bottom arch were enhanced obviously when roof and floor beams added,and the strength coefficient of top and bottom arch was improved to 3.51 and 2.715 when the roof beam closed to top and floor beam closed to bottom. Based on roof and floor beams,braces added in top and bottom arch further,the strength coefficient of top and bottom arch was improved to 3.719 and 2.889 under combination structure of “V” in vault and “” in dome. Consider the economic benefits and the impact of construction on site,we gained the ideal support structure with roof beam closed to top and floor beam closed to bottom.

Show Abstract
Soil is a complex granular medium and its strength and deformation characteristics behave strong particle size effect. On the basis of the physical effects of cohesion and friction generated by the interactions between soil particles at different scales,a soil cell element that can describe the internal material information and particle characteristics of soil was constructed by dividing particle size into different scales to investigate the influence of soil particles at different scales on the macro-scale mechanical properties of soil. According to the mechanical responses of soil at various scales,the notion of coordinated micro-cracks was introduced,and a multi-scale and hierarchical soil cell element model was proposed to establish the conversion relationship of the displacement and stress between different scales. Therefore,the microscopic soil mechanics was promoted from qualitative analysis to quantitative calculation. Moreover,various soil samples with a variety particle combinations were prepared for a series of direct shear tests to study the particle size effect of soil. Meanwhile,microscopic parameters of the model such as the strain gradient and intrinsic length scale were quantitatively studied. The results show that:The yield stress of soil increases with an increase in the volume fraction of the reinforcement particles. When the volume fraction of the reinforcement particles is low(≤0.125),the yield stress of soil increases with a decrease in the reinforcement particle size whereas when the volume fraction of these particles is high(≥0.177),the yield stress of soil increases with an increase in the reinforcement particle size. The action of the reinforcement particles that causes the strain gradient and coordinated micro-cracks of soil to appear at the matrix joined with the reinforcement particles is the microscopic physical mechanism of the particle size effect of soil. The yield stress of soil calculated by the soil cell element model is in good agreement with that of the test result.

Show Abstract
In order to study the impacts of anisotropy of compacted loess on strength and deformation behavior,a series tests with fixed principal stress direction were carried out on compacted loess with a hollow cylinder apparatus. The impacts of intermediate principal stress coefficient b and principal stress orientation angle α on strength and deformation of compacted loess were emphatically discussed. Test results revealed that when α increased the strength of compacted loess decreased first and increased when >60°. Tangent modulus of generalized shear stress-strain curves of different intermediate principal stress coefficient decrease with principal stress orientation angle increase from 0°to 30°,and increase with principal stress direction when >60°. The peak of generalized shear stress was used as the failure criterion of compacted loess according to the generalized shear-strain curves. The generalized shear stress at the generalized shear strain of 15% can be taken as the failure criterion when peak generalized shear stress did not appear. The impact of intermediate principal stress coefficient on strength is mainly manifested in the strength of b = 0.5 are lower than b = 0.0 for different principal stress directions.

Show Abstract
Under the groundwater environment that is rich in sulfate and chloride ions,solidified/stabilized heavy metal contaminated soils may suffer secondary pollution and resulting in the deterioration of solidification effectiveness. Thus,the strength and microstructure characteristics of cement solidified/stabilized lead contaminated soils under the secondary pollution by sodium chloride solution were studied. A systemic experiment program was performed on the cement solidified/stabilized Pb2+ contaminated soil. Test results show that the unconfined compressive strength of solidified soils decreased and compressibility increased with the increased in concentration of sodium chloride solution. The strength reached minimum and compressibility reached maximum when specimens soaked for 7 days. After soaking for more than 7 days,with the immersion time increased,the strength enhanced and the compressibility decreased. The results of triaxial compression test show that the stress-strain curves of solidified soils can be divided into three different sections:elastic deformation stage,plastic yielding stage and failure stage. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) results indicate that erosion of sodium chloride solution leaded to porosity increased and loose structure of the solidified soils. Particles of the sample that soaked 28 and 90 days arranged more compactly and steadily than that soaked 7 days.

Show Abstract
Consists of sandstone and mudstone,the red-bed slopes in the east of Sichuan province belong to high geological hazard-prone areas. The soft layer(especially muddy layer) in the slopes was prone to be softened by water with the reduce of its mechanical strength,which favors the development of potential sliding surface. With the aim of revealing the change law of microstructure and mechanical properties of samples,a series of experiments of the sampled undisturbed soil from landslide sliding zone under the saturated condition were carried out. The result shows that after saturating the internal structure of tested soil became loose,meanwhile the way of connection of soil particles changed from plane-plane to plane-edge,edge-edge. Both cohesion and internal friction angle variations follow an exponent curve and tend to be stable after soaking 10 days. According to this result,the softening effects on slope stability were analyzed by the limit equilibrium method. The calculation result shows that slope stability coefficient is reduced with the softening of soil of sliding surface. Some slopes may eventually tend to be unstable even though without the static water pressure from the rear crack of slope and uplift pressure from sliding surface. Therefore,the dramatical decrease of soil strength due to softening and saturating is considered as the important cause of slope failure in red bed regions.

Show Abstract
A series of scaled model tests were conducted to study the influence of the net distance between adjacent pile caps and embankment fill properties on the soil arching effect of geosynthetic reinforced and pile supported embankment. The influences of fill cohesion and the distance of adjacent pile caps on soil arching effect and the variation with the surcharge on the top of embankment were analyzed. The results show that:(1) Cohesion makes the soil arching effect stronger,soil pressure on the pile caps becomes larger,while soil pressure between pile caps becomes smaller. Comparing to fill without cohesion,for embankment constructed by fill with cohesion,pile efficacy increases,the settlements of subsoil between pile caps and on the surface of the embankment become smaller under the same load. (2) The arching conditions would be independent of fill cohesion,the height of soil arching is 1.0–1.5 times of the net distance of adjacent pile caps. (3) The greater the distance between adjacent pile caps,the weaker the arching effects,and the smaller the pile efficacy. (4) No matter what fill is or how the distance of adjacent pile caps changes,soil pressure on the pile cap edge is bigger than that over the pile cap center.

Show Abstract
Currently,soil models have been widely adopted to represent the waste behavior in numerical analysis for landfills. Although some aspects of waste behavior are similar to soils,a number of unique characteristics of municipal solid waste(e.g. consist of large number of compressible solid) cannot be accounted for by existing soil models. This paper aims to propose a constitutive model which can reflect the behavior of municipal solid waste more properly so that it can be applied in numerical analysis and serve for the landfill operation. On the basis of the modified Cam-clay model,a constitutive model for municipal solid waste(MSW) considering the deformation of compressible sold was established. The MSW can be divided into two parts:one part includes the incompressible solid particles and the voids,and the other parties the compressible solid particles. In detail,assume that the stress-strain behavior of the first part which includes the incompressible solid particles and the voids is elastic-plastic while the deformation of the other part which is large and irreversible is assumed to be plastic deformation. The proposed model is based on the modified Cam-clay model and the parameters in the model have clear physical meanings. It is found that the model can properly reflect the stress-strain behavior of MSW by comparing the numerical calculation results using the model with indoor triaxial drained test results of the municipal solid waste. As a result,the accuracy and rationality of the model is confirmed.

Show Abstract
Used as a modified material,the waste tire granulated rubber was expected to enhance the effectiveness of liner system in landfill and extend the utilization of the waste. The internal strength and interface shear strength tests of waste tire ground rubber and clay mixtures were conducted and the effect of ground rubber on strength properties was studied. The shear strength of the mixtures increases slightly as rubber mixing content increases,and the unconfined compressive strength can meet the requirement in the specification. When the rubber mixing content is 15%,the interface strength of geomembrane/mixtures is higher than that of geomembrane/Kaolin clay. However at the normal stress of 400 kPa,there are stress drop for the interface of geomembrane/mixtures,which results in the lower residual strength. At low normal stresses,the interface strength of GCL/mixtures is slightly lower than that of GCL/Kaolin clay,which is opposite at high normal stresses. The interface strength is lower than the internal strength of the soil. Overall,the effects of the two rubber particle size in this study are not significant,and there are not adverse effects of the waste tire ground rubber on the internal and the interface shear strength.

Show Abstract
Based on equivalent continuum media model,the fractured soil located on the slope surface can be regarded as dual-porosity media,including the crack network and the pores of soil matrix,and the degree of fissure and the average fissure width as the introducing variables were taken. According to the capillary theory and the pore-size distribution,an effective method was summarized which can evaluate equivalent bi-modal unsaturated soil property functions for fractured soil. Then this method was applied to analyze an engineering practice on how the crack network affects the seepage field under rainfall infiltration condition. The results show that the crack network provides a priority channel for rainfall infiltration,and the perched water table is formed within the slope typically 1–2 m deep.

Show Abstract
Loess is a kind of special structural soil. The structure can be described by a quantitative parameter called structural index. At present,qualitative relationships between structural and physical indices have been studied a lot,but seldom for quantitative relationships. In order to study the quantitative relationship between the structural and physical indexes of loess,a series of uniaxial compressive strength tests of undisturbed,remoulded and saturated loess specimens sampled from seven different fields were carried out respectively under different water contents,and the corresponding structural indices under different water contents were calculated. Furthermore,the quantitative relationships between structural index and water content were analyzed by the methods of data fitting,the comparison of fitting curves and the test verification. It is shown that the linear fitting curve converted from power function fits the laboratory results much better than exponential and power functions. The empirical formula of the quantitative relationships between structural index and water content are obtained. And the magnitude of structural index in engineering would change from the dry structural index to the saturated structural index. Thereby,a comprehensive physical index Z was proposed to calculate the dry structural index and empirical formula for the quantitative relationships between the dry structural index and physical indices was presented. These quantitative relationships would be beneficial for the application of structural index to practical engineering.

Show Abstract
In order to study how the surface feature of reinforced geomembrane affects the reinforced geomembrane and geotextile interface shear strength,the fractal dimension D was calculated by cubic covering method and fractal geometry theory. Basing on the direct shear test,the correlation between the fractal dimension D and the shear strength of different reinforced geomembrane was gotten. It shows that the interface shear strength increases with the increase of fractal dimension D strengthen,so that fractal dimension could measure reinforced geomembrane and geotextile interface shear strength. And then,after revising the JRC-JCS model combined with inosculation ratio-JMC and experience factor ,the connection between the joint roughness coefficient(JRC) and the fractal dimension D was worked out with the shearing text,on the basis of which the experiential estimative equation of reinforced geomembrane and geotextile interface was derived. Finally,the calculation results were carried out with the experiential estimative equation,the comparison between the calculation results and the shear test results was conducted. Form the comparison,it shows that calculation results fit in with the test results,and the calculation accuracy and the achieved reliability of the equation can meet the requirements of engineering estimate.

Show Abstract
Based on neural network method,the influence of gravel-soil gradation on permeability coefficient was studied. Obtaining 92 groups seepage test data of gravel-soil,a neural network was trained and tested. Based on this neural network,permeability coefficient of gravel-soil was predicted and compared by full gradation(d10–dmax,all particle size) and a few gradation character respectively. Then mean impact value method was used to analyze the influence of each particle size on the permeability coefficient,and the degree of influence was given. At last,the reliability of the above analysis was verified by a set of laboratory test. The following conclusions were obtained:the permeability coefficient of gravel-soil predicted by full grade can be more accurate,while with great uncertainty by one or a few gradation character. There are limitations in the application of current empirical formulas. d10 is the key grain,which is different from coarse particle soli generally with d20 the key particle size. Coefficient permeability of gravel-soil decreases with the increase of dmax,coarse particles play an important role in the control of permeability coefficient. d50 is the boundary particle size,increasing the particle size below or above d50,the permeability coefficient will increase or decrease correspondingly.

Show Abstract
Extended foundation of Baihetan high arch dam is considered as an important form of reinforcement to adapt to the unfavorable geological condition of the left bank foundation,the evaluation method research of its reinforcement effect is not yet fully definite. Three-dimensional numerical model was built,coupling with elaborate simulation of the foundation structure,and the reinforcement effect analysis of extended foundations conducted through elasto-plastic finite element method,during which an evaluation method was proposed based on deformation reinforcement theory. The result shows that extended foundation can help to increase the integral rigidity of dam body,improve the symmetry of the left and right arch abutments deformation and the stress state of rock mass near the base surface. The unbalanced force and plastic complementary energy(PCE) were taken to quantize the reinforcement effect. During the overloading process,the unbalanced forces of dam faces,dam toe and dam heel,area of dam surface yield zone were reduced by extended foundation,while the PCEs of different statistical parts consequently decrease as well. Thus,the stabilities of these critical region of arch dam engineering were promoted by it. The research focusing on the extended foundation proves the necessity of this reinforcement measure,and will be useful to understanding its reinforcement mechanism,which is also expected to have a vital significance for design and practice of high arch dam engineering.

Show Abstract
Base on indoor model experiments of mouth-closed step cross-section and constant cross-section pipe piles performed in foundation pit,the load transfer characteristics of both kinds of mouth-closed pipe piles were studied by comparing horizontal load-settlement curves,horizontal critical load and bending moment distribution of piles. Results of test show that horizontal load-settlement curves change slowly of both kinds of piles. Horizontal bearing capacities of step cross-section pipe piles are higher than constant cross-section pipe piles and there are close relation to average diameters of both kinds pipe piles. Horizontal critical bearing capacity per unit volume has increased by different degrees with improvement of segmentally cross-section ratio. Moreover,to step cross-section pipe piles,there are two bending moment extreme on pile and bending moment extreme on small diameter pipe has declined with the improvement of segmentally cross-section ratio. Finally,it is very obvious that step cross-section pipe pile is more reasonable than constant cross-section pipe pile in bearing characteristics because the bending moment has been improved greatly on small diameter pipes.

Show Abstract
To overcome the disadvantages such as poor corrosion resistance,volume shrinkage at later stage and etc. of traditional slurry,a new type of alkali-activated geopolymer two-shot grouting material is put forward. Through laboratory test,the influence rule of volume fraction of sodium silicate and powder proportion on initial/final setting time,uniaxial compressive strength,erosion resistance and dry shrinkage is analyzed. Through field test,the feasibility and effect of the grouting material are studied. The results show that gel time of alkali-activated geopolymer grouting material can be controlled between a few seconds and a few minutes. Under specified conditions,when the volume fraction of sodium silicate is 20% or mass ratio of slag to metakaolin is 1∶2,the induration can have the highest compressive strength. In acid solution,strength loss of induration of cement slurry is 50%,but strength loss of induration of alkali-activated geopolymer grouting material is only 20%. Alkali-activated geopolymer grouting materials drying shrinkage rate gradually decreases with the increase of the content of metakaolin. However,when the content of metakaolin is more than 30%,the influence of metakaolin on the volume shrinkage rate of the induration significantly weakens. Alkali-activated geopolymer two-shot grouting material makes full use of industrial waste,its proportion can be adjusted according to the engineering requirement,and its various performances can meet the requirements of grouting treatment.

Show Abstract
The influences of fiber length(3–18 mm),fiber content(0.1%–0.3%) and confining pressure(30– 300 kPa) on strength characteristics of polypropylene fiber reinforced aeolian sandy soil(FRASS) were investigated via unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression tests. Fibers included in FRASS were randomly distributed. Test results show that failure strength and residual strength of FRASS are substantially enhanced with increasing fiber length,fiber content and confining pressure under given test schedule. The increase in fiber length or fiber content results in a significant increment in cohesion,but a negligible increment in internal friction angle. As fiber length increases,a transition from strain softening to strain hardening is observed for FRASS,while the ductility appears to be unchanged. As fiber content increases,FRASS with fiber length of 3 mm maintains strain softening state and its ductility almost has no change,on the contrary,FRASS with fiber length of 9 mm,as well as 18 mm,presents a transition behavior from strain softening to strain hardening and ductility deserves a remarkable increment. As confining pressure increases,the ductility and the degree of strain hardening of FRASS increase. Failure strength-confining pressure relationship of FRASS exhibits bilinear behavior with bilinearity break occurring at critical confining pressure. At confining pressures less than the critical,the reinforcing effect of fiber inclusion is more pronounced in increasing internal friction angle. At confining pressures higher than the critical,the reinforcing effect of fiber inclusion is more pronounced in the enhancement of cohesion.
