Based on the elastic-plastic theory, the analytical formula of the second invariant J of deviatoric stress at any point around the circular roadway under the non-uniform stress field is derived. The distribution law of J of surrounding rock under the three-dimensional non-isobaric stress field is studied by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Combined with the butterfly failure theory of surrounding rock of roadway, the close relationship between the distribution pattern of J and the distribution pattern of plastic zone is found, and the failure mechanism of surrounding rock is revealed. The results show that the distribution form of the second invariant J of deviatoric stress is closely related to the distribution form of plastic zone. When the distribution of J of surrounding rock shows 'round', 'oval' and 'butterfly', the plastic zone shows the corresponding consistent form. When the second invariant J of deviatoric stress produces stress concentration, the surrounding rock of roadway will produce large-scale damage. When the stress concentration is high, it may lead to malignant expansion of surrounding rock of roadway. The distribution of the second invariant J of deviatoric stress is directional. When the principal stress rotates over a certain angle, the second invariant J of deviatoric stress rotates over the same angle as the plastic zone. Under the influence of superimposed mining, the second invariant deviatoric stress J of the wind tunnel of Yangchangwan 160,206 working face presents butterfly distribution, and the stress butterfly leaves present a certain degree of rotation. Based on the failure mode of plastic zone, the corresponding optimization support scheme is proposed, and the engineering effect is good.

Every year, a billion tires are discarded worldwide, with only a small percentage being recycled. This leads to significant environmental hazards, such as fire risks and improper disposal. Silty sand also presents technical challenges due to its poor shear strength, susceptibility to erosion, and low permeability.

The stress state changes in shallow gassy sand strata under anthropogenic disturbances can be simplified as failure problems of gassy sand under constant shear stress drained (or undrained) stress paths. However, related research remains relatively limited. To investigate the mechanical properties of gassy sand, this study utilized a high-pressure gas dissolution saturator and employed a CO-saturated aqueous solution degassing method to prepare high-saturation gassy sand specimens.

The permeability evolution characteristics of low-permeability shale layers directly influence shale gas development. However, the evolution law of shale reservoir permeability in complex environments remains unclear. Therefore, understanding the permeability characteristics of shale layers is of great significance.

Expansive clay soils cause structural failures in construction due to volume changes with moisture, but hydrated lime effectively stabilizes them by improving shear strength and reducing plasticity. To address environmental concerns with traditional stabilizers like cement, silica fume, a byproduct of the silicon industry, is now being used as a supplementary additive to enhance stabilization. In this study, the combined effects of hydrated lime and silica fume addition on the shear strength and consolidation behaviour of expansive clay soils are presented.

As a part of the mining-induced stress redistribution process during coal mining, the repeated loading and unloading process with increasing peak stresses will cause more severe deformation and damage to mining roadways, which is different from the findings in other underground engineering practices. Consequently, cyclic triaxial compression tests with increasing amplitudes were carried out to investigate the mechanical behavior, acoustic emission (AE) characteristics, and damage evolution of coal materials. It is found that peak deviatoric stress and axial residual strain at the failure of coal specimens increase with increasing confining pressures, while the changes in circumferential strain are not obvious.
