Abstract

Dynamic loads due to blasting will affect the mechanical properties of rock masses and form an excavation damage zone (EDZ). The rock mass properties within the EDZ are obtained by the geological strength index (GSI) and disturbance factor (D) in the Hoek-Brown criterion. In order to avoid the subjectivity of GSI evaluation, a stochastic-deterministic 3D discrete fracture network (DFN) is constructed to quantify the GSI. The D value is considered to be a value that varies with depth within the EDZ, rather than a fixed value. Quantitative blasting vibration data is used to determine the disturbance factor rather than qualitatively estimated values. When the disturbance factor decreases linearly within the EDZ, the mechanical properties of the rock mass increase linearly to the undamaged value. Numerical simulation is used to analyze the influence of linear decrease of the rock mass properties on the stability evaluation of the tunnel. The results show that different rock mass parameters have a great influence on tunnel convergence and settlement values. The method described in this paper helps to evaluate the stability of surrounding rock more objectively and accurately.

期刊介绍： Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces: • the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations; • the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change; • the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses; • the prediction of changes to the above properties with time; • the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
