Theoretical results pointed out dynamic disturbances resulting in compressive stress concentration in the vertical direction and tensile stress in the incident direction. As the wavelength and rising time increased, there was a tendency for the amplitude of stress concentration to initially rise and then converge. Moreover, a series of 3D FEM models were established to evaluate the effect of different initial stress states on the dynamic failure of the tunnel surrounding rock. The results indicated that the failure of the surrounding rock was significantly influenced by the direction of the static maximum principal stress and the direction of the dynamic disturbance.

It is found that water-coupled charge blasting is more appropriate to fracture deep rock mass than air-coupled charge blasting. In addition, the effects of rock properties, water-coupled charge coefficients, and borehole connection angles on the performance of water-coupled charge blasting are investigated. The results show that rock properties and water-coupled charge coefficients can greatly influence the crack and fragmentation levels of rock mass induced by water-coupled charge blasting under uniform and non-uniform in-situ stresses. However, changing borehole-connection angles can only affect crack and fragmentation levels of rock mass under non-uniform in-situ stresses but barely affect those under uniform in-situ stresses.

The results show that the acid with stronger hydrogen production capacity after ionization (p<i>K</i><sub>a</sub><0) has more prominent damage to the mineral grains of limestone. When p<i>K</i><sub>a</sub> increases from −8.00 to 15.70, uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of limestone increase by 117.22% and 75.98%. The influence of acid concentration is manifested in the dissolution behavior of mineral crystals, the crystal defects caused by large-scale acid action will lead to the deterioration of limestone strength, and the strength after 15% concentration reformation can be reduced by 59.42%. The effect of acidification time on limestone has stages and is the most obvious in the initial metathesis reaction stage (within 60 min). The key to the strength damage of acidified limestone is the participation of hydrogen ions in the reaction system.

Experimental results showed that the peak/valley shear force values increased with initial normal loads and normal loading frequencies but showed an initial increase followed by a decrease with normal loading amplitudes. Dynamic normal loading can either increase or decrease shear strength, while this study demonstrates that higher frequencies lead to enhanced friction. Increased initial normal loading and normal loading frequency result in a gradual decrease in joint roughness coefficient (JRC) values of joint surfaces after shearing.
