This book examines the field of surrounding rock control mechanisms and
support technologies in underground engineering, and proposes a
high-strength support system to address the complex conditions in
underground engineering, such as high stress, extremely soft rocks,
fault fracture zone and strong mining activity. It also comprehensively
discusses the concept and bearing mechanisms of the supporting system,
design calculation methods, field application and key construction
technologies.
The book describes the design and construction of a large-scale
mechanical test system, independently developed by the author for high-
strength confined concrete arches, which can also be used to define the
mechanism of deformation and failure of confined concrete arches.
Further, the book explores the application of the confined concrete
support system in underground engineering with complex conditions, and
its control effect on soft surrounding rock.
The first international book presenting the theory and key technologies
of high-strength, confined concrete support, it is a valuable reference
resource for design, construction and supervision staff in the field of
geotechnical engineering, as well as for teachers, students and
researchers.
