Surrounding rock deformation and consequent support failure are the most prominent issues in red-bed tunnel engineering mainly caused by effects of unloading, rheology, swelling. This study investigated mechanical responses two kinds mudstone sandstone under unloading conditions via laboratory observation. Volume dilation was observed on rocks during dilatancy stress linear with initial confining pressure. However, ratios to peak kept at a range from 0.8 0.9, regardless pressures. Both...

The in situ stress distribution is one of the driving factors for design and construction underground engineering. Numerical analysis methods based on artificial neural networks are most common effective inversion. However, conventional algorithms often have some drawbacks, such as slow convergence, overfitting, local minimum problem, which will directly affect inversion results. An intelligent inverse method optimizing back-propagation (BP) network with particle swarm optimization algorithm...
