The Influence of Rock Thermal Stress on the Morphology and Expansion Pattern of the Plastic Zone in the Surrounding Rock of a Deep-Buried Tunnel under High Geothermal Temperature Conditions

The Influence of Rock Thermal Stress on the Morphology and Expansion Pattern of the Plastic Zone in the Surrounding Rock of a Deep-Buried Tunnel under High Geothermal Temperature Conditions

The extent of the plastic zone is critical in determining the stability and extent of damage to the surrounding rock in tunnels, crucial for designing support structures and thermal insulation layers. This study focuses on understanding how rock thermal stress affects the expansion of the plastic zo...
