Macroscopic and microscopic mechanical behavior and seepage characteristics of coal under hydro-mechanical coupling

Understanding the physical,mechanical behavior,and seepage characteristics of coal under hydro-mechanical coupling holds significant importance for ensuring the stability of surrounding rock formations and preventing gas outbursts.Scanning electron microscopy,uniaxial tests,and triaxial tests were conducted to comprehensively analyze the macroscopic and microscopic physical and mechanical characteristics of coal under different soaking times.Moreover,by restoring the stress path and water injection conditions of the protective layer indoors,we explored the coal mining dynamic behavior and the evolution of permeability.The results show that water causes the micro-surface of coal to peel off and cracks to expand and develop.With the increase of soaking time,the uniaxial and triaxial strengths were gradually decreased with nonlinear trend,and decreased by 63.31%and 30.95%after soaking for 240 h,respectively.Under different water injection pressure conditions,coal permeability undergoes three stages during the mining loading process and ultimately increases to higher values.The peak stress of coal,the deviatoric stress and strain at the permeability surge point all decrease with increasing water injection pressure.The results of this research can help improve the understanding of the coal mechanical properties and seepage evolution law under hydro-mechanical coupling.

裂隙岩体高压压水试验研究

裂隙岩体渗透特性往往由于裂隙发育的随机性而难以准确描述,现场高压压水试验通过研究压力P—流量Q关系曲线来了解裂隙岩体宏观渗透特性。某抽水蓄能电站高压岔管部位岩体存在较大规模的断层及影响带,为配合工程处理设计,采用现场高压压水试验对断层(含影响带)、断层周围岩体的透水性及渗透变形特性进行评价,现场试验的结果表明裂隙的张开扩展是裂隙岩体渗透变形的主要形式,也是P—Q曲线类型非线性的主要原因。为对试验过程和成果进一步量化,采用等效连续介质模型和三维有限元数值模拟技术对试验进行模拟。对比分析成果可见,P—Q曲线基本吻合,采用现场试验与数值计算相结合的方法可以较好地对裂隙岩体的宏观渗透性进行分析评价。
