1 Risk assessment of collapse in shallow caverns using numerical modeling of block interactions with DDA: Suggested approach and case studies Yossef H. Hatzor Professor and Chair in Rock Mechanics, BGU, Israel Visiting Professor, CAS, Wuhan, China International Top-level Forum on Engineering Science and Technology Development Strategy Safe Construction and Risk Management of Major Underground Engineering May 17 19, Wuhan, China.
2 Shallow caverns, typically of Karstic origin, may pose great risk to surface civil engineering structures, but are quite difficult to detect, therefore exploration drilling is often employed: Research Question: What is the limiting relationship between cavern span (B) and cover height (h) that will ensure stability? The answer will constrain the required drilling length (D) and distance (d) in the exploration effort. Y. Hatzor: Risk assessment of collapse in shallow caverns. CAE Top Level Forum. May Wuhan China 2
3 One way to answer this question is to study it numerically with discrete element methods, by generating, synthetically, Blocky rock masses and then running forward modeling. Here we keep the rock mass structure constant and change in each simulation the span width (B) and cover height (h) to obtain the structural response with DDA: h B An example of a blocky rock mass structure with a synthetic jointing pattern as generated with DDA Y. Hatzor: Risk assessment of collapse in shallow caverns. CAE Top Level Forum. May Wuhan China 3
4 The modeled rock mass in our simulations is a typical blocky rock mass as found in central Israel, with a horizontal bedding planes set and two sub-vertical and sub-orthogonal joint sets: Joint Set Dip/Direction Trace Length Mean Spacing Degree of Randomness Rock Bridge Length 1 /.7 m 1. m 2 88/182 5 m.96 m m 3 88/12 5 m.78 m m These structural parameters represent mean values obtained from a number of joint surveys in central Israel where the problem of karstic cavern collapse exists The large value of assigned rock bridge length (2.5m) is used to simulate the phenomena of mechanical layering, where the extent of joint trace length is conditioned by bed thickness The same effect is obtained by using a relatively small value of trace length (5m) with respect to bed thickness (.7m). Y. Hatzor: Risk assessment of collapse in shallow caverns. CAE Top Level Forum. May Wuhan China 4
5 To estimate the mechanical stability of each structural configuration, we measure the vertical displacement (v) and the horizontal stress (s x ) components as obtained with forward DDA at four measurement points evenly distributed at the roof of the modeled excavation: The lateral boundaries are set at a distance of b = 3B to ensure the decay of stress concentrations near the boundaries of the modeled domain. Y. Hatzor: Risk assessment of collapse in shallow caverns. CAE Top Level Forum. May Wuhan China 5
6 The results of forward modeling with DDA are classified into three categories of structural response, depending on the vertical displacement (v) and horizontal stress (s x ) component outputs at the measurement point locations: Stable Configuration: the 3 upper measurement points exhibit static stability Marginally Stable: the 2 upper measurement points exhibit static stability Unstable: Only the upper measurement point or no measurement point exhibit static stability Y.

11 As we know, per a given cover height (here h ~ 2 m) the span width adversely affects stability: h/b =.76 B = 25 m 1 m. h/b =.73 1 m. B = 3 m h/b =.5 1 m. Y. Hatzor: Risk assessment of collapse in shallow caverns. CAE Top Level Forum. May Wuhan China B = 4 m 11
12 Similarly, per given cavern span ( here B = 25 m) the cover height positively affects stability: h = 3 m h/b = m. h/b = 1. h = 25 m 1 m. h/b =.5 h = 12.5 m 1 m. Y. Hatzor: Risk assessment of collapse in shallow caverns. CAE Top Level Forum. May Wuhan China 12
13 The final resulting relationship between B and h required for stability however proves to be not linear: h, m h/b = 1 35 Ayalon Cave h 17(3) 13(3) 3 B Zedekiah Cave h/b =.5 15(25) 25 Safe 1(25) 19(22) 12(22) 2 16(19) 9(2) 15 7(14) Marginal 11(15) 8(15) 3(11) 6(1) 14(12.5) 1 18(11) 1(6) 2(6) 4(6) Unsafe 5(6) 5 Tel Beer Sheva B, m Legend: Safe Marginal Unsafe Y.

32 Summary Sinkhole collapse can pose a significant risk for people and surface civil engineering operations. We develop here, using the numerical DDA method, a function that marks the boundary between Stable and Unstable shallow cavern geometries, for blocky rock masses consisting of horizontal bedding planes and vertical joints. Our results are confirmed by three independent stability analyses of underground openings in blocky rock masses possessing different mechanical properties for intact rock elements as well as different joint friction and spacing.

BENDING STRESS The effect of a bending moment applied to a cross-section of a beam is to induce a state of stress across that section. These stresses are known as bending stresses and they act normally
