Dynamic Unloading Instability Mechanism of Underground Cavern Based on Seepage-Damage Coupling
The seepage-damage coupling effect will aggravate the instability of the surrounding rock during the unloading process of underground cavern excavation. Considering this coupling effect and excavation disturbance, the theoretical solution of the stress state of surrounding rock is derived by using the elastic-brittle damage model. The dynamic criterion of the instability and water inrush is presented. Based on the theoretical derivation, the calculation program for the seepage-damage analysis of the surrounding rock under dynamic unloading is programmed, and the seepage flow and the radius of the damage zone of the surrounding rock are calculated. By analysing the variation of radius of the damaged zone with pore water pressure and excavation radius under different calculation conditions, the influence of dynamic unloading disturbance on the damaged zone of the surrounding rock is discussed. The radius of the damaged zone increases with the pore water pressure and excavation radius. Considering the effect of dynamic unloading, the calculation result of the damaged zone radius and seepage discharge of underground cavern are much larger than the theoretical calculation and coupling calculation of seepage-damage without dynamic unloading. Research methods and results can provide guidance and reference for similar engineering research.
