To accurately identify multiform fractures, the distribution patterns of grayscale and the differential features of fractures in their neighborhoods are summarized. Based on this, a multiscale processing algorithm is proposed. The multiscale process is as follows. On the neighborhood of pixels, a grayscale continuous function is constructed using bilinear interpolation, the smoothing of the grayscale function is realized by Gaussian local filtering, and the grayscale gradient and Hessian matrix are calculated with high accuracy. On small-scale blocks, the pixels are classified by adaptively setting the grayscale threshold to identify potential line segments and mini-fillings. On the global image, potential line segments and mini-fillings are spliced together by progressing the block frontier layer-by-layer to identify and mark multiform fractures. The accuracy of identifying multiform fractures is improved by constructing a grayscale continuous function and adaptively setting the grayscale thresholds on small-scale blocks. And the layer-by-layer splicing algorithm is performed only on the domain of the 2-layer small-scale blocks, reducing the complexity. By using rock mass images with different fracture types as examples, the identification results show that the proposed algorithm can accurately identify the multiform fractures, which lays the foundation for calculating the mechanical parameters of rock masses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48505,"journal":{"name":"Underground Space","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S246796742300168X/pdfft?md5=2847a3cee181189ba2b30a37cdbd9dc8&pid=1-s2.0-S246796742300168X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139020612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This copula expression is efficient since it can represent a large TPM by a few unknown parameters. Due to the analytical expression of the TPMs, the likelihood function of the Markov chain model is given in an explicit form. The estimation of the TPMs is then re-casted as a multi-objective constrained optimization problem that aims to maximize the likelihoods of two independent Markov chains subject to a set of parameter constraints. Unlike the method which determines the TPMs by counting the number of transitions between soil types, the proposed method is more statistically sound. Moreover, a random path sampling method is presented to avoid the directional effect problem in simulations. The soil type at a location is inferred from its nearest known neighbors along the cardinal directions. A general form of the conditional probability, based on Pickard's theorem and Bayes rule, is presented for the soil type generation.

Therefore, this study specifically focuses on the state transition behavior, aiming to investigate its abrupt transition process and formation mechanism, and triggering effects on rockburst. To facilitate the study, a novel burst rock-surrounding rock combined laboratory test model is proposed and its effectiveness is validated through experiment verification. Subsequently, corresponding numerical models are established using the three-dimensional (3D) discrete element method (DEM), enabling successful simulation of static brittle failure and rockbursts of varying intensities under quasi-static displacement loading conditions. Moreover, through secondary development, comprehensive recording of the mechanical and energy information pertaining to the combined specimen system and its subsystems is achieved. As a result of numerical investigation studies, the elastic rebound dynamic behavior of the surrounding rock was discovered and identified as the key factor triggering rockburst and controlling its intensity. The impact loading on the burst rock, induced by elastic rebound, directly initiates the dynamic processes of rockburst, serving as the direct cause. Additionally, the transient work and energy convergence towards the burst rock resulting from elastic rebound are recognized as the inherent cause of rockburst. Moreover, it has been observed that a larger extent of surrounding rock leads to a stronger elastic rebound, thereby directly contributing to a more intense rockburst.

To reveal the failure mechanism of bolt-reinforced shallow tunnel faces, in this study, the stability of bolt-reinforced tunnel faces with different bolt lengths was investigated by using laboratory tests and numerical simulations, and a simplified theoretical model for practical engineering was proposed. The face support pressure and failure pattern for different bolt lengths during the face collapse process were obtained, and the influence of bolt length on face stability was clearly revealed. More specifically, the results show that face stability increases with increasing bolt length, and the reinforcing effect of face bolts is governed by the shear failure at the soil-grout interface first in the stable zone of the tunnel face and then in the failure zone. Once the bolt length in the stable zone is larger than that in the failure zone, face stability will not be improved with increasing bolt length; thus, this bolt length is referred to as the optimal bolt length <em>L</em><sub>opt</sub>.
