Abstract
Modern underground engineering support design generally considers the synergistic support relationship between the surrounding rock and the support system. In underground engineering involving soluble rocks, primarily limestone, dissolution has a long-term impact on the deterioration of limestone-bolt combined support characteristics. This study focuses on the limestone-bolt combined support structure at different stages of fissure development and varying dissolution time. Considering the mechanical deterioration mechanism of limestone under the effect of dissolution, it employs self-developed equipment to conduct a series of experimental studies. The research verifies that the detrimental impact of dissolution on the deterioration of limestone-bolt combined support characteristics cannot be overlooked. The analysis reveals the differences in the extent of deterioration of the limestone-bolt combined support structure under different stages of fissure development and varying dissolution time. Furthermore, the study uncovers the deterioration mechanism of the limestone-bolt combined support characteristics under the influence of dissolution. The study can provide important physical basis for the development of the construction scheme and the optimization of stability of surrounding rock in underground engineering in soluble rocks.
期刊介绍:
Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces:
• the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations;
• the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change;
• the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses;
• the prediction of changes to the above properties with time;
• the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
