The failure pattern, physical and mechanical parameters and energy absorption index of the material were analyzed by static mechanical test and Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) dynamic compression test. The results indicate that E0 specimen showed brittle failure in static tests and SHPB tests. When PVA fiber and EPP beads were added to the specimen, the failure mode of the specimen changed from brittle failure to ductile failure, and the specimen shows typical core-remaining failure under impact load. The static test results reveal that EPP volume content significantly influences the axial compressive strength, elastic modulus, and confined compressive strength of PVA fiber EPP concrete, while fiber content has the most pronounced impact on splitting tensile strength, Poisson ratio, and dynamic compressive strength. the confined uniaxial compression ontological relationship of PVA fiber EPP concrete under confined compression was established by confined uniaxial compression test, and the formula fitting was carried out. The fitting results were in good agreement with the test data. Based on the stress–strain curve of confined compression, the static energy absorption performance of PVA fiber EPP concrete was discussed. The results show that the energy absorption effect of E60-P18-1.2 concrete is the best; The results of SHPB test showed that comparing the energy absorption value and dissipation rate of each group of specimens under 0.06 MPa air pressure, it was found that the concrete of E50-P12-0.7 had the best energy absorption effect under dynamic compression.

This study proposes a novel experimental system that integrates 3D printing, stress-freezing, and digital photoelasticity techniques to address the challenges associated with the preparation of structurally complex tunnel models, quantitative analysis of stress and plastic zones, and visualization of failure behaviors. The 3D experimental results indicate that the embedded structural plane exhibits considerable stress localization and blocking effects. The stress concentration and plastic zones are primarily located at the structural plane ends and on regions far from the structural plane. Furthermore, the presence of the structural plane significantly alters the failure mode of the tunnel, presenting pronounced regional failure characteristics. The 3D experiments in this study consider the influence of the model thickness direction and structural plane effects, which are typically neglected in simplified 2D analyses. Consequently, more realistic insights into the distribution and evolution of stress, plastic zones, and failure behaviors within tunnels are obtained. The mechanisms and principles realized through these laboratory experiments present new perspectives for optimizing and further improving the tunnel design and support systems.

The fibers network interconnects soil particles, improving overall structural integrity. However, the increased shear strength and stiffness due to CFs reinforcement amplify acceleration responses and intensify soil-structure interaction, leading to more pronounced tunnel deformation compared to the unimproved case.

It is the key to the reasonable support design of deep underground engineering to clarify the dynamic characteristics of prestressed anchorage support. Therefore, the dynamic impact test system of prestressed anchorage support is developed. Taking the commonly used high-strength (HS) support and the self-developed constant resistance energy-absorbing (CREA) support as the research objects, the dynamic impact tests are carried out.

In this study, five groups of rock chips with different quality components and eight shooting heights were designed to explore the performance and applicability of the image fractal dimension (<em>D</em>), a quantitative indicator of rock chip size distribution based on the Sandbox fractal method, and also to compare it with the traditional Box-counting method.

The image fractal dimension decreases as the proportion of large-sized rock chips increases. Under the same surrounding rock conditions, the image fractal dimension of rock chips is positively correlated with the logarithm of specific energy (<em>SE</em>) and negatively correlated with the logarithm of coarseness index (<em>CI</em>), effectively reflecting shield rock-breaking efficiency.
