Constructing deep underground tunnels faces severe challenges when the surrounding rock contains weak, unstable layers. This study investigates how the angle and spacing of these weak layers lead to the deformation and collapse of deep tunnel structures. A particle flow simulation, based on a 1,000–m-deep tunnel, was developed to recreate the physical behavior of the surrounding rock and observe how it cracks, shifts, and loses its internal support under various geological conditions.
