Expansion patterns of plastic zone in surrounding rock of rectangular roadway in non-uniform stress field and equivalent circumcirble analytical method by GUO Xiaofei, JIN Yiwei, ZHANG Hongkai

“…Smaller ν value leads to lower error between the two, and the error approximates 0 when the ν =1. ③ The butterfly leaf angle in the plastic zone of the rectangle and the corresponding circumcircle roadway exhibits convergence values between 34° and 39°, and the difference between their butterfly leaf angles is between 1° and 3° when ν is less than 2. ④ When the width-height ratio ν of a rectangular roadway is less than 2 in the non-uniform stress field, the shape, range and main concentration position of the plastic zone can be quantified using the equivalent circumscribed circle method.…”
