Abstract Geo-materials may present varying mechanical properties under different stress paths, especially for tunnel excavation, which is typically characterized by the decreased radial stress and increased axial stress during the complex loading and unloading process. This study carried out a comparative analysis between the loading and unloading model testing, which was then combined with PFC2D simulation, aiming to reveal the fracture propagation pattern, microscopic stress and force chain distribution of the rock mass surrounding the tunnel. Comparisons of extents and development of tensile strain between loading and unloading testing results were made. The overall stability, the integrity of rock mass, and the failure pattern transition under loading and unloading processes were systematically examined. In addition, for the two unloading cases with different vertical stresses imposed, the failure patterns were both identified as the collapse of the V − shaped extruded sidewall, due to the coupling of the shear failure and the vertical tensile failure in the sidewall wedge. |
