Experimental Research on the Propagation Mode of 3D Hollow Cracks and Material Strength Characteristics Under Hydro-Mechanical Coupling
2025
Overview
The fracture evolution and the strength characteristics of a jointed rock mass under hydro-mechanical coupling are key issues that affect the safety and stability of underground engineering. In this study, a kind of transparent rock-like resin was adopted to investigate the crack initiation and propagation modes of the 3D flaw under hydro-mechanical coupling. The influences of the water pressure and the flaw dip angle on the fracture modes of the 3D flaw and the strength properties of the specimen were analyzed. The experiment results indicated that under the initiation and propagation modes, the 3D flaw presented two types of modes: the low-water-pressure type and the high-water-pressure type. The increase in the water pressure had a significant promoting effect on the crack initiation and propagation, which changed the overall failure mode of the specimen. With the increase in the flaw dip angle, the critical growth length of the wing crack decreased and the initiation moment of the fin-like crack showed a hysteretic tendency. The influences of the water pressure on the crack initiation stress and failure strength had thresholds. When lower than the threshold, the crack initiation stress increased slightly and the failure strength decreased gradually with the increase in the water pressure. Once the threshold was exceeded, both the crack initiation stress and the failure strength decreased significantly with the increase in the water pressure. With the increase in the flaw dip angle, both the crack initiation stress and the failure strength showed a first decreasing and then increasing tendency. The lowest crack initiation stress and the failure strength were found for the specimen containing the 45° flaw, while the highest were found for the specimen containing the 75° flaw. This study helps to deepen the understanding of the fracture mechanism of the engineering rock mass under hydro-mechanical coupling and has certain theoretical and applied value in engineering design and construction safety.
