Description
Summary:There are a series of human or natural activities, including earthquakes, explosions, and rockbursts, which have caused a number of safety accidents in geotechnical engineering. This review paper summarized the theories and methods for dynamic stability analysis of rockmass. First, numerical simulation methods, including finite element method (FEM), discrete element method (DEM), finite difference method (FDM), boundary element method (BEM), discontinuous deformation analysis method (DDA), and numerical manifold method (NMM), are summarized. Second, the laboratory experiments, containing shaking table test, split-Hopkinson pressure bar test (SHPB), improved true-triaxial test, dynamic centrifugal model test, acoustic emission (AE) technique, and dynamic infrared monitoring, are considered. Third, the in situ tests including microseismic (MS) technique, velocity tomography, stress-strain monitoring, and electromagnetic radiation monitoring are considered. Finally, some comprehensive analysis methods based on statistical theories are also provided. It is pointed out that the study foundation for the dynamic stability of rockmass is weak to explain the mechanism. So, a set of general comprehensive theories integrating the different methods, including theoretical analysis, numerical methods, laboratory experiments, and in situ tests, should be completely established. This is the most effective way for further investigation.
