摘要
Tunnels in fractured rock masses are typically damaged by dynamic disturbances from various directions. To investigate the influence of blasting load directions on the stability of a tunnel with a pre-crack nearby, blasting tests were conducted on the physical models of an external crack around a tunnel (ECT) in this study. Failure modes of the tunnels were analysed based on stress wave theory. The Riedel-Hiermaier-Thoma (RHT) material model was employed to perform the numerical simulations on ECT models. Stress distribution around the tunnels and final failure patterns of the tunnels were characterised. The results show that, under blasting loads, the pre-crack propagates and then new cracks initiates on the incident side of the tunnel. These cracks extend towards each other and eventually coalesce. Blasting load directions significantly influence the ultimate failure mode of the tunnel in the fractured rock masses. The new cracks on the shadow side of the tunnel appear at different positions when the blasting stress waves come from various directions. The results are meaningful to the analysis of tunnel stability and optimisation of the tunnel support scheme. (C) 2022 Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
