Abstract Weak local support is a very common phenomenon in roadway support engineering. It is a problem that needs to be studied thoroughly at the theoretical level. So far, the literature on stress field theory of rock surrounding a roadway is largely restricted to analytical solutions of stress for roadways with a uniform support or no support at all. The corresponding stress solution under conditions of local or weak local support has not been provided. Based on a mechanical model of weak local support at the boundary of a circular roadway and the boundary element method… More >
