[0027] The surrounding rock layer 103 is simulated by artificially prepared concrete with a thickness of 0.8 m. A certain proportion of steel sand is added to increase the elastic modulus to simulate hard rock. In other test conditions, rubber particles can also be added to reduce the elastic modulus to simulate softer surrounding rock.

The test module 1 is placed in the groove, and 8 piers 302 are set between the test module 1 and the bottom plate foundation 303 to support the test module 1.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, the pressurization module 4 includes a pressurization pipe 401 and a pressurization air pump 402.
