Abstract

The excavation process of an underground power plant was simulated by using three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element method.The changes of the displacement and stress of the surrounding rock around the cave is analyzed.The calculation and analysis result show that the stability of the cave is poor and the rock excavation deformation is larger as the surrounding rock is much more broken,the supporting structure should be constructed in time.
