Abstract:The roadways in the rock of Grade Ⅲ of different cross-sections in different buried depths were simulated with the finite difference software FLAC,and the stress-strain behaviors of rock,the rules of the plastic zone changing with the buried depth of the roadways with rectangular,vertical wall-arch and circular cross-section were analyzed respectively.The results show that both the surrounding rock deformation and plastic zone of the roadway with the vertical wall-arch cross-section are the smallest,the roof settlement is also less than that of the roadway with rectangular and circular cross-section;the surrounding rock's horizontal displacement of roadway with the circular cross-section is the smallest;as to the contents of the stress-strain increasing with the buried depth,the roadways with rectangular cross-section is better than the roadways with vertical wall-arch and circular cross-section.
