Excavation unloading‐induced fracturing of hard rock containing different shapes of central holes affected by unloading rates and in situ stresses

Abstract Slabbing failure and strain rock burst are the main failure patterns during the excavation and construction phases of deep tunnels in hard and brittle rock, which cause unexpected equipment damage and casualties. This study presents a numerical simulation with an unloading central hole with...
