Effects of seepage and weak interlayer on the failure modes of surrounding rock: model tests and numerical analysis

The presence of weak interlayers and groundwater are common adverse geological conditions in tunnels. To investigate the modes of failure of rock masses surrounding tunnels owing to weak interlayers and groundwater, model tests and numerical simulations were conducted in this study based on two case...
