To study the seasonal evolution of expansive rock mass containing clay minerals, an underground mine transferred from an open-pit was selected as the experimental mine. The experimental results of SEM electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction confirmed that the surrounding rock of the main haulage roadway contains a large number of expansive clay minerals. The expansive grade of the main transport roadway’s surrounding rock could then be identified as the medium expansive rock mass, which has a large amount of exchangeable cation and strong water absorption capacity, based on the combined test results of dry saturated water absorption and free expansion deformation. The water swelling can cause the roadway to considerably deform, and then the surrounding rock will have strong rheological characteristics. From the research results in the text, the seasonal evolution law of the main haulage roadway in the experimental mine was obtained, and the deformation law of the expansive rock mass under different dry and wet conditions was revealed. The research results provide a reference for studying the stability evolution law of expansive soft rocks in underground mines.}, type={Article}, title={Study on the Stability Evolution Law of Expansive Soft Rock Roadway Affected by Seasonal Wet-Dry Cycle}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/126868/PDF-MASTER/Archiwum-68-1-10-Liu.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ams.2023.144323}, keywords={underground mine, expansibility, rheology, clay minerals, seasonal evolution}, }
