description More deep tunneling projects will be constructed due to the increasing demand of underground energy and resource. The zonal disintegration phenomena are frequently encountered with the surrounding rock of deep tunnels. To explain the mechanisms underlying the formation of zonal disintegration, an elastoplastic damage model and failure criterion are proposed in this study based on the strain gradient theory and the damage property of rock mass. A coupling calculation subroutine is thereafter developed by the ABAQUS code. The dynamic formation and development regularity of zonal disintegration in the deep tunnel are simulated by this subroutine. The radial displacement, radial stress, and tangential stress show the oscillated variation of peaks and troughs alternately. The coupling effect of the blasting load and the initial geostress transient unloading leads to the variation of alternation oscillation in the surrounding rock stress field, which is an important reason for the zonal disintegration of the surrounding rock. The morphological characteristics of fractured zones and nonfractured zones obtained from numerical simulations are in good agreement with the results from the in situ observations, which confirm the correctness and feasibility of the damage and numerical approach. The method proposed in the current study can be utilized to provide a basis for the prediction and supporting design of fractured modes.
