With the vigorous development of China's highway construction, more and more stability problems of loose circle occurred in tunnel project, the deformation characteristics and distribution range of rock loose circle is very complex, which is of urgent need to further study. Based on geological data and construction program of Xi Shi slope tunnel, using the combined method of elastoplastic theoretical calculations and FLAC3D numerical simulation to analyze the distribution range of highway tunnel surrounding rock loose circle, and comparing it with the results of the measurements of surrounding rock deep displacement, thus, it is on the conclusion that grade IV rock loose circle of Xi Shi slope tunnel is in the range between 2.0 to 3.0m. Verifing the reliability of the method, and providing a strong guarantee for the design of support parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
