摘要
With the proposal of sustainable development strategy, the development and application of underground engineering have become increasingly important. Throughout the whole engineering process, the stability of surrounding rock of underground cavity plays a vital role. Till now, a variety of analytical methods have been suggested for the study of the stability of surrounding rock. In order to clarify the merits and demerits as well as the application scope of each analytical method, this paper classifies and summarizes the existing analytical methods for the stability of the underground surrounding rock masses. Furthermore, based on a systematic approach, from the perspectives of quality, quantity and stability, this paper focuses on the analysis of the overall stability and the stability of partial rock-block of the cavity. The result will shed light on the design and calculation for the stability of surrounding rock of underground cavity. At last, this paper makes a summary of the present research status and analyzes the development trend of this field.
