A visual deformation prediction method was proposed to improve the accuracy and visualization of the surrounding rock deformation prediction in tunnel construction, combining the Variational Modal Decomposition (VMD) and Bidirectional Long- and Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network. Based on the VMD method to decompose the measured data of tunnel surrounding rock deformation, the BiLSTM model was used to predict the final deformation value. The prediction results were also embedded into the tunnel’s Building Information Modeling (BIM) as plug-ins, and the data were visualized through graphs and color warnings. Taking the measured data of the arch settlement of the Loushan tunnel as an example, the results showed that the prediction results were more consistent with the measured situation, and the visualization expression could effectively warn of the risk of vault settlement in the construction stage. This study realized the combined use of surrounding rock deformation prediction and BIM technology, which could be used as a reference for similar projects.

This paper studies the effect of schistosity on the dynamic mechanical properties and failure pattern of thin-layered schist. Wudang Group schist with thin layers is selected as the research object, and the influence of the dynamic mechanical properties and failure pattern of schist under different angles and spacing is studied by combining an SHPB test and numerical simulation. The results indicate that under dynamic loading, the stress–strain curve demonstrates elastic compression, plastic deformation, and strain softening stages. Moreover, it is observed that the dynamic critical failure strength of schist exhibits typical “U”-type strength anisotropy. Specimens with a schistosity angle of 0° or 90° exhibit higher dynamic compressive strength under dynamic loading, with axial splitting and schistosity splitting as predominant failure modes. Conversely, when the schistosity angles are 30°, 45° or 60°, there is a noticeable decrease in compressive strength accompanied predominantly by shear failure along with local compressive shear failure. We additionally noted that as the spacing between schists decreases from 22 mm to 7 mm, there is a gradual reduction in dynamic compressive strength by approximately 20.3%.
