Study on the evolution law of the ‘Butterfly-type’ plastic zone in the surrounding rock of deep dynamic pressure roadway by Yiwen Liang, Jianqiang Jin, Wenhua Zha, Tao Xu, Wenbo Cheng

“…The results show that: (1) When the lateral pressure coefficient λ ≠ 1.0, the plastic zone of the surrounding rock expands in the direction of inclination to the corners of the roadway, and the whole is similar to the “butterfly-type”, and the more the value of λ deviates from l.0, the more the shape of the plastic zone is similar to the “butterfly-type”. (2) Regarding the dynamic pressure coefficient and the change curve of the radius of the plastic zone, whether it is the shallow stress field or the deep stress field, the curve is the first smooth growth, and the dynamic pressure coefficient reaches a certain value (about D i  = 2.5), and the radius of the plastic zone starts to show a sharp nonlinear growth, which is a ‘sharp lifting type’. …”
