- Abstract
The stability of rock mass project is mainly controlled by the rock mass structure, and faults are the large geological discontinuity plane commonly encountered in rock mass engineering. The stability of surrounding rocks is restricted by mechanical property and location to underground cavern of faults, the detailed studies carried out by analysis of numerical calculation and construction monitoring datum of underground powerhouse of Three Gorges Project show: the distribution of stress and deformation of surrounding rock masses containing a fault are badly deteriorated, the distribution of stress and deformation are obviously different under different natural stress field and position of fault; The influence of friction strength of fault on deformation of surrounding rocks is more obvious when a fault is located near the crown, but the cohesion is more when wall nearby, and the influence is more distinct with side pressure coefficient increases.
