ANALYSIS OF THE ENGINEERING GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF LONGYOU STONE CAVES AND PRIMARY STUDY ON THE PROTECTION STRATEGIES

Longyou stone caves discovered recently, followed with interest widely because of their vast caves, high excavation techniques as well as many unknown problems. The engineering geological conditions ,the high lights of the excavation techniques, major deformation and faliure types of surrounding rock and protection strategies for the ancient stone caves will be discussed in this paper.
