Experimental Study on the Influence Mechanism of the Structural Plane to Rockbursts in Deeply Buried Hard Rock Tunnels by Guangtan Cheng, Jian Zhang, Qiang Gao, Chuanxiao Liu

“…In order to study the influence mechanisms of the structural plane to rockbursts, the physical simulation tests of rockbursts under biaxial stress conditions are carried out using marble samples by considering different relative positions of the structural plane with tunnels, namely, in tunnel spandrel, in tunnel sidewall, and at the intersection with the tunnel. The digital image correlation (DIC) technique is used to trace the evolution of the deformation on the surface and the rockburst process of the marble sample. …”
