To study the failure mechanism and energy dissipation law of fissured coal in different tectonic stress areas, the No.9 coal seam of the Limin coal mine was taken as the research background. The hollow inclusion stress relief method is used to measure the in-situ stress, reveal the distribution law of mine in-situ stress, and divide it into different tectonic stress areas. The UDEC numerical simulation software was used to analyze and study the failure mechanisms and energy dissipation characteristics of coal containing single fissures with different dip angles in high stress areas and stress gradient areas. The results show that: ① When in the same stress area, the stress concentration area at the end of the fissure dip angle 45° is the largest, and the macroscopic mechanical properties are the worst. The fissure dip angle is deflected from 45° to both sides, and the stress transfer effect and macroscopic mechanical properties are gradually improved. When it reaches 0° and 90°, the stress distribution of coal is the most uniform and the macroscopic mechanical properties are the strongest. With the increase of the fissure dip angle, the total energy and elastic strain energy of the system decrease first and then increase. The greater the fissure dip angle, the more severe the fissure damage inside the coal, which leads to the weakening of the total energy of the system and the strengthening of the dissipation capacity. ② When the fissure dip angle is the same, with the increase of stress level, the stress around the coal fissure in the high stress area is larger than that in the stress gradient area, and the stress concentration area at the fracture end is also larger, which is more prone to shear dilatancy and form dilatancy effect. At the same time, the total energy of the system gradually increases with the increase of the stress level, and the coal is prone to energy accumulation, which aggravates the occurrence of dynamic disasters.

In order to ensure the stability of coal wall of fully mechanized mining face with large mining height, Aiming at the prominent problem that the rib spalling rate of coal wall in fully mechanized mining face with large mining height is high and is significantly affected by joint cracks, this paper comprehensively uses theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and other research methods to explore the damage effect of joint cracks on coal wall, and obtains the influence law of joint surface occurrence on abutment pressure in limit equilibrium area. Based on the stability theory of coal wall pressure bar, the expression function of abutment pressure distribution in the limit equilibrium zone of large mining height working face is constructed. The research shows that under the condition of large mining height working face, with the increase of joint plane dip angle, the damage of coal shows a trend of increase-decrease-increase, and the abutment pressure at the same position in the limit equilibrium zone shows a trend of decrease-increase-decrease.

With the vigorous construction of water conservancy projects in the cold regions of western China, the frost heaving cracking problem of rock mass fissures in cold regions under the water-ice phase change seriously threatens the safety of projects. This study aims to explore the fracture laws of rock masses containing random fissures under frost heaving, providing a basis for frost-resistant design and disaster prevention in cold region projects. The study uses the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method.

To make efficient use of land resources and minimize the seismic destruction of structures in the ground fissures zone, the shaking table tests and 3-dimensional numerical calculation of the soil were completed, based on the ground fissures site in Xi'an (Class II, with the shear wave velocity Vs ranging from 250 m/s to 500 m/s). Influence laws of ground motion characteristics and geological structure characteristics on seismic response spectra were revealed. Based on the statistics and analysis of seismic waves of the ground fissures site, standardized design response spectra and mathematical formula of the ground fissures site were determined.

Fissures are the main controlling factor of rock strength and crack propagation. To study the deformation, failure characteristics, and crack evolution in fissured red sandstone, uniaxial compression experiments were carried out on pre-fissured samples with different dip angles. The acoustic emission (AE) characteristics and complete stress-strain curves were obtained during the experiment, from which several valuable conclusions were drawn.

Fissured loess is one of the important factors that cause geological disasters in the Loess Plateau. This paper analyzes the mechanical characteristics of fissured loess under different confining pressures and different intermediate effective principal stress coefficients b-values by conducting true triaxial tests on fissured loess with different fracture angles. The results show that there are "Concave Points" in the peak stress curves of the fracture loess samples with different angles, and the "Concave Points" are affected by both intermediate effective principal stress coefficients b-values and confining pressure.
