Currently, the use of microseismic detection technology for crack detection and localization in rock masses has great potential in detecting structural damage. As engineering safety has always been a very important issue, this study investigated the problem of multi-crack identification in rock masses within the environment of track tunnels using transient waves. A tunnel rock was modeled using MIDAS GTS NX software (2019.v1.2) and a crack transient wave model in the frequency domain was obtained through data analysis and simulation. Then, this was combined with compressive sensing techniques to locate and detect multiple cracks in tunnel rock. The performance of the proposed approach was validated through experimental simulations, which included experiments on differences in the number of cracks, as well as spatial samples. The experimental results indicate that the technique performs well for single-crack localization in tunnel rock mass, where the average localization error is 4 m. Meanwhile, the localization error is larger in multi-crack localization, and the number of spatial sample points set using compressive sensing also has a large impact on the experimental results.
