High in-situ stress evaluation and disaster case analysis for the Sichuan–Tibet railway by DAI Xiangqian, WANG Chenghu, GAO Guiyun, YANG Xinshuai, LIU Jikun

“…Conclusion  Through comparing the actual grades of tunnel disasters, the most appropriate criterion for predicting rock burst and large deformations in Sichuan–Tibet railway tunnels is determined after comparison and selection. Therefore, they should be prioritized in the studies for the subsequent construction of Sichuan–Tibet railway tunnels as a reference basis. [ Significance ] The research findings offer crucial evidence for the analysis of in-situ stress states and the prevention and control of high in-situ stress disasters in the regions along the Sichuan–Tibet railway, and possess significant engineering guiding significance for enhancing the safety of tunnel engineering and construction efficiency.…”
