Height of Mining-Induced Fractured Zones in Overlying Strata and Permeability of Rock with Nonpenetrative Fractures by Yu Liu, Qimeng Liu, Wenping Li, Youbiao Hu

“…In order to explain the phenomenon that the actual leakage of phreatic water is greater than the predicted value, field investigation and analogue simulation were carried out, and the nonpenetrative fractured zone (NFZ) was proposed based on the original three zone theory. Further, a “vertical four-zone model” was established and the overlying strata was divided into a caved zone (CZ), through-going fractured zone (TFZ), NFZ, and continuous zone (COZ) from the bottom to the top. …”

Numerical Simulation of Nanosilica Sol Grouting for Deep Tunnels Based on the Multifield Coupling Mechanism by Dongjiang Pan, Kairong Hong, Helin Fu, Zhiguo Li, Limeng Zhang, Gaoming Lu, Feixiang Sun, Shiyu Wen

“…The rationality of this model is verified by classical Newtonian fluid grouting theory. The main conclusions: with the molar concentration as the index, the grout range can be divided into the raw grout region and the transition region; with the decrease of the grouting pressure, the growth rate of the normal grouting radius and the axial grouting radius will gradually decrease; due to the mechanical dispersion and molecular diffusion, the range of the transition region will gradually increase with time. …”
