In order to study the stability of layered rock mass, a shear failure criterion for layered rock mass is presented and its program is compiled in C language. The shear failure criterion consists of two parts: firstly, four empirical expressions are suggested in which shear strength parameters vary with the direction; secondly, a pilot calculation method is developed to judge whether a shear failure plane in layered rock mass occurs or not and give its occurrence under three dimensional stress condition. A triaxial numerical experiment on layered rock mass is designed to test the shear failure criterion, and its results reflect the characters including obliquity effect, confining pressure effect and failure mode which conform to the previous triaxial tests.

The layered rock mass consists of kinds of stratifications whose mechanical properties are not wholly identical with each other. In order to figure out its strength failure criterion, the variable bond strength failure criterion is proposed depending on Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion and the change law of the strength parameters varying with the dip angle of stratification plane (that is the angle between the maximum principal stress and the stratification plane). What’s more, the criterion is verified by physical model test and numerical simulation adopting assembly language VC++6.0. Compared with the results of physical model tests and numerical simulation, it is shown that the stress distributions and failure regions are elliptic in shape and that the maximum failure regions are vertical to the stratification planes. That the results obtained in the physical model test are compatible with those numerically obtained verifies the correctness of variable bond strength failure criterion.

Physical models of layered rock mass with different dip angles are built by physical model test in accordance with the bias failure characteristics of surrounding rocks of layered rock mass in Gonghe Tunnel. Bias failure characteristics of surrounding rocks in thin-layered rock mass and influences of layered rock mass dip angle on stability of tunnel are studied. The research results show that failure characteristics of physical models generally coincide with those of surrounding rocks monitored from the tunnel site. The failure regions of surrounding rock perpendicular to the stratification planes are obviously larger than those parallel to. The stress distributions and failure characteristics in the surrounding rocks are similar to each physical model of different dip angles. The stress distributions and failure regions are all elliptic in shape, in which the major axis is in the direction perpendicular to the stratification planes while the minor axis is parallel to them. As a result, obvious bias failure of surrounding rocks has gradually formed. The physical model tests provide reliable basis for theoretical analysis on the failure mechanism of deep-buried layered rock mass.

In order to compare the influence of rock mass parameters weakening on the deformation and stability of excavation caverns in layered rock mass, based on power generation system caverns of a hydropower station, the stability and deformation of the caverns is analyzed. The results show that the mechanical characteristics of the structure surface play a major role in controlling the stability of caverns. And the displacement and yield zone value of plan 3, which adopt elastic-plastic softening model, are significantly larger than other two. The method which consider the residual strength of structure surface is more suitable for the excavation calculation of layered rock mass cavern.
