摘要

The tomb of the young pharaoh Tutankhamen (KV62) is the most famous tomb in the world. This tomb has been subjected to long-term impacts from both flash flooding and major faults. As a result, it has experienced varying degrees of instability and damage, which have progressively worsened over time. This study represents geotechnical modeling and calculations of stresses and deformation patterns using high-performance PLAXIS 3D software with a jointed rock model. Numerical simulations were employed to investigate the effects of flash flooding and the major fault intersecting the tomb on its stability. The study identifies the main factors influencing the stability of the ceiling of the antechamber and burial chamber, the deformation and failure modes and key areas, and the current stage of the tomb’s stability was determined. These findings provide valuable suggestions for future reinforcement measures and offer a reference for the stability analysis of other similarly complex underground structures.
