Abstract:Basic on the FEM numerical analysis, the contour maps stress of rocksalt cavity's surrounding rock and the major principal stress's law changed with the depth and horizontal direction are analyzed. The influencing factors to the distribution of the stress surrounding rocksalt cavity, such as cavity's span, water pressure and the depth of rocksalt layer is also studied. The results show that major principal stress becomes big with the increase of rocksalt's depth. The cavity's influence to the stress's distribution will be clearer with the nearer to the cavity. The stress's centralization will be weaker with the accretion of water pressure in rocksalt's cavity. But the stress's centralization will be stronger, and the stress's value increases.
