Tunnel collapse causes serious casualties and economic losses. One typical case analysis of a collapse in deep-buried tunnel based on microseismic monitoring is presented. The results show that the number of microseismic event keeps increasing and the distribution of microseismic events becomes concentrated in space domain gradually during collapse nucleation process. And average distance squared decreases gradually during the imminent period time just before the collapse. The failure evolution mechanism of the collapse is analyzed by moment tensor method. It is noted that the failure mechanism between this kind of collapse and immediate strain-structure rockburst is similar. However, the proportion of shear and mixed fracture for collapse is higher than immediate strain-structure rockburst. It due to the rich structure planes in collapse zone.
