The Minimum Safe Thickness and Catastrophe Process for Water Inrush of a Karst Tunnel Face with Multi Fractures

Water inrush of tunnel face is one of the most common geological disasters during tunnel construction in China. Aiming at the rock mass with multi fractures in water-resistant strata ahead of karst tunnel, the compressive-shear cracking property is analyzed by fracture mechanics theory and the chang...
