The effect of intermediate stress (in situ tunnel axial) on a strainburst is studied with a three-dimensional (3D) bonded block distinct element method (DEM).A series of simulations of strainbursts under true triaxial in situ stress conditions (i.e.high tangential stress, moderate intermediate stress and low radial stress) of near-boundary rock 3-V
