Failure Mode of the Water-filled Fractures under Hydraulic Pressure in Karst Tunnels

Water-filled fractures continue to grow after the excavation of karst tunnels, and the hydraulic pressure in these fractures changes along with such growth. This paper simplifies the fractures in the surrounding rock as flat ellipses and then identifies the critical hydraulic pressure values require...
