We thank the editor and all reviewers for their constructive comments and for the help in improving the quality of the manuscript. The insightful comments have enabled us to improve our work. Corresponding changes have been made to address the comments made by the reviewers, and detailed replies to the comments are contained below, in red. According to the suggestions of reviewers, the contents of the paper has been modified to highlight our findings, and to make it more reasonable and complete. We hope that the revised manuscript is accepted for publication in RMRE.The authors conducted large-scale physical model tests to investigate the deformation and failure characteristics of deep-buried roadway under dynamic disturbance loading, and quantitatively analyzed the instability process of surrounding rock under dynamic and static coupling loading conditions based on DIC technology. The findings can provide potential value for the construction and protection of underground engineering. However, there are still some shortcomings in this paper, which can be accepted and published after modification. Suggestions for amendment are as follows:We thank the reviewer very much for the time and effort put into reviewing the previous version of the manuscript.
