Exploring Dynamic Spalling Behavior in Rock–Shotcrete Combinations: A Theoretical and Numerical Investigation

open access: yesMathematics
Spalling is a widespread dynamic disaster during blasting excavation in underground engineering. To clarify the coupled dynamic response and spalling behavior of an underground tunnel with a spray anchor, an investigation based on the rock–shotcrete ...

Advancing mine pillar design: Evaluating traditional methods and integrating AI for enhanced stability of pillars in the Great Dyke, Zimbabwe

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
B1 is bord width 1, B2 is bord width 2, L is the pillar length, W is the pillar width, red color and letter A represent the pillars, and white color and number 1 represent excavated areas. Pstress is the average pillar stress; σv is the vertical component of the virgin stress, MPa; and e is the areal extraction ratio. e = B o B o + B P ${\rm{e}}=\frac{{

Analysis of Rebound Rate of Wet Shotcrete Based on Experiment and Discrete Element Method

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2022
Wet shotcrete support is the main support method for underground engineering construction at present. The rebound rate is one of the indicators to evaluate the support effect, and a lower rebound rate will improve the construction effect of wet shotcrete.

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

On the Design of Permanent Rock Support Using Fibre-Reinforced Shotcrete

open access: yesFibers, 2023
Fibre-reinforced shotcrete (sprayed concrete) is one of the major components in the support system for tunnels in hard rock. Several empirical design methodologies have been developed over the years due to the complexity and many uncertainties involved ...

Experimental study of shear behavior of rock–shotcrete interface under dynamic shearing: insights from interface roughness and strain rate

open access: yesGeomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources, 2023
Rock–shotcrete structures are often suffered from dynamic shearing. However, the understanding of the dynamic shear response of rock–shotcrete structures is still at its infancy.
