Failure mechanism and coupled static-dynamic loading theory in deep hard rock mining: A review

Rock failure phenomena,such as rockburst,slabbing(or spalling) and zonal disintegration,related to deep underground excavation of hard rocks are frequently reported and pose a great threat to deep mining.Currently,the explanation for these failure phenomena using existing dynamic or static rock mechanics theory is not straightforward.In this study,new theory and testing method for deep underground rock mass under coupled static-dynamic loading are introduced.Two types of coupled loading modes,i.e.'critical static stress + slight disturbance' and 'elastic static stress + impact disturbance',are proposed,and associated test devices are developed.Rockburst phenomena of hard rocks under coupled static-dynamic loading are successfully reproduced in the laboratory,and the rockburst mechanism and related criteria are demonstrated.The results of true triaxial unloading compression tests on granite and red sandstone indicate that the unloading can induce slabbing when the confining pressure exceeds a certain threshold,and the slabbing failure strength is lower than the shear failure strength according to the conventional Mohr-Column criterion.Numerical results indicate that the rock unloading failure response under different in situ stresses and unloading rates can be characterized by an equivalent strain energy density.In addition,we present a new microseismic source location method without premeasuring the sound wave velocity in rock mass,which can efficiently and accurately locate the rock failure in hard rock mines.Also,a new idea for deep hard rock mining using a non-explosive continuous mining method is briefly introduced.

Dynamic tensile behaviour and crack propagation of coal under coupled static-dynamic loading

The fracture behaviour and crack propagation features of coal under coupled static-dynamic loading conditions are important when evaluating the dynamic failure of coal.In this study,coupled static-dynamic loading tests are conducted on Brazilian disc(BD)coal specimens using a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB).The effects of the static axial pre-stress and loading rate on the dynamic tensile strength and crack propagation characteristics of BD coal specimens are studied.The average dynamic indirect tensile strength of coal specimens increases first and then decreases with the static axial pre-stress increasing.When no static axial pre-stress is applied,or the static axial pre-stress is 30%of the static tensile strength,the dynamic indirect tensile strength of coal specimens shows an increase trend as the loading rate increases.When the static axial pre-stress is 60%of the static tensile strength,the dynamic indirect tensile strength shows a fluctuant trend as the loading rate increases.According to the crack propagation process of coal specimens recorded by high-speed camera,the impact velocity influences the mode of crack propagation,while the static axial pre-stress influences the direction of crack propagation.The failure of coal specimens is a coupled tensile-shear failure under high impact velocity.When there is no static axial pre-stress,tensile cracks occur in the vertical loading direction.When the static axial pre-stress is applied,the number of cracks perpendicular to the loading direction decreases,and more cracks occur in the parallel loading direction.

Mechanical properties of rock under coupled static-dynamic loads

Rock drilling machine,INSTRON testing system,and SHPB device are updated to investigate the characteristics of rocks at great depth,with high loads from overburden,tectonic stresses and dynamic impacts due to blasting and boring.It is verified that these testing systems can be used to study the mechanical properties of rock material under coupled static and dynamic loading condition and give useful guidance for the deep mining and underground cavern excavation.Various tests to determine the rock strength,fragmentation behavior,and energy absorption were conducted using the updated testing systems.It is shown that under coupled static-dynamic loads,if the axial prestress is lower than its elastic limit,the rock strength is higher than the individual static or dynamic strength.At the same axial prestress,rock strength under coupled loads rises with the increasing strain rates.Under coupled static and dynamic loads,rock is observed to fail with tensile mode.While shear failure may exist if axial prestress is high enough.In addition,it is shown that the percentage of small particles increases with the increasing axial prestress and impact load based on the analysis of the particle-size distribution of fragments.It is also suggested that the energy absorption ratio of a specimen varies with coupled loads,and the maximum energy absorption ratio for a rock can be obtained with an appropriate combination of static and dynamic loads.

Dynamic response and failure behavior of rock under static-dynamic loading

Dynamic response and failure behavior of rock under static-dynamic loading were studied. The effects of initial static load on the total energy dissipated during the failure process of specimen were analyzed. To simulate the engineering situation that in-situ rock experienced and obtain the dynamic loading with an intermediate strain rate, a low cycle fatigue load with the frequency from 0.5 to 5 Hz was adopted by servo-controlled Instron material testing system. The results show that the obtained strain rate increase with the increase of load frequency. The initial static load has great influence on both the energy and dynamic response of rock. Both the energy and the maximum failure load P_f decreases with the increase of initial static load. P_f under the static-dynamic loading is larger than that under only the static loading but less than that under only the dynamic loading. The load-displacement curves become nonlinear as the pre-added static load reaches the transition point which is about one third of static strength. With the increase of initial static load, Young’s modulus decreases and poisson ratio increases. It shows that rock has a lower strength and a tendency to soften under a higher initial static load. Rock may be broken more easily static-dynamic loading than under only the dynamic loading. The proposed method is useful in the investigation of constitutive relationship and failure behavior of rock under quasi-dynamic loading.

Crack propagation mechanism of compression-shear rock under static-dynamic loading and seepage water pressure

To reveal the water inrush mechanics of underground deep rock mass subjected to dynamic disturbance such as blasting, compression-shear rock crack initiation rule and the evolution of crack tip stress intensity factor are analyzed under static-dynamic loading and seepage water pressure on the basis of theoretical deduction and experimental research. It is shown that the major influence factors of the crack tip stress intensity factor are seepage pressure, dynamic load, static stress and crack angle. The existence of seepage water pressure aggravates propagation of branch cracks. With the seepage pressure increasing, the branch crack experiences unstable extension from stable propagation. The dynamic load in the direction of maximum main stress increases type I crack tip stress intensity factor and its influence on type II crack intensity factor is related with crack angle and material property. Crack initiation angle changes with the dynamic load. The initial crack initiation angle of type I dynamic crack fracture is 70.5°. The compression-shear crack initial strength is related to seepage pressure, confining pressure, and dynamic load. Experimental results verify that the initial crack strength increases with the confining pressure increasing, and decreases with the seepage pressure increasing.

Supporting characteristics analysis of constant resistance bolts under coupled static-dynamic loading

To study the tensile mechanical properties of constant resistance bolts, the RFPA(Rock Failure Process Analysis) statics software is used to perform a uniaxial tensile test on a constant resistance bolt. The numerical test results show that the plastic strain value is 12 times the magnitude of the elastic strain. During plastic deformation, the fluctuation in the stress magnitude is relatively stable, indicating that the bolt has good constant resistance characteristics. The numerical test results are in good agreement with the laboratory test results of M.C. He, and the accuracy and reliability of the numerical test method are verified. Therefore, the RFPA software with coupled static-dynamic loading is further adopted to study the supporting effects of traditional bolts and constant resistance bolts under coupled staticdynamic loading. The numerical comparison of the test results show that the constant resistance bolts can effectively control the deformation amount and rate of the laneway surrounding rock, reduce the total and rate of increase in the accumulated acoustic emissions,decrease the stress on the units in the model and protect the stability of the laneway. This paper verifies that a constant resistance bolt has better impact resistance mechanical properties than those of a traditional bolt and provides an effective way to control rock burst and soft rock that is prone to large deformation damage.

Distribution of contact loads in crushed zone between tunnel boring machine disc cutter and rock

The construction efficiency and quality of tunnel boring machines(TBMs)is largely determined by the service life of cutting tools,which is the result of contact loads in the crushed zone between cutter ring and rock.In this paper,a series of rock breaking tests were conducted with a 216 mm diameter disc cutter and concrete samples.Based on the superposition principle,the distribution of contact loads between disc cutter and rock were obtained by using the truncated singular value decomposition(TSVD).The results show that both the peak value and the whole numerical distribution of the radial strains on the cutter ring increase with the increase of the penetration.The distribution curves of the contact loads show an approximate parabola going downwards,which indicates contact loads are more concentrated.The front non-loading area with a ratio from 1.8%to 5.4%shows an increasing trend with the increase of penetration.However,the change of rear non-loading area is not obvious.It is believed that the conclusions have guidance for the study of rock breaking mechanism and manufacturing process of the disc cutter.

Superposability of unsteady aerodynamic loads on bridge deck sections

The 2-dimensional unsteady aerodynamic forces,in the context of both a thin airfoil where theory of potential flow is always applicable and a bluff bridge-deck section where separated flow is typically induced,are investigated from a point of view of whether or not they conform to the principle of linear superposition in situations of various structural motions and wind gusts.It is shown that some basic preconditions that lead to the linear superposability of the unsteady aerodynamic forces in cases of thin airfoil sections are no longer valid for a bluff section.Theoretical models of bridge aerodynamics such as the one related to flutter-buffeting analysis and those concerning aerodynamic admittance(AA)functions,however,necessitate implicitly this superposability.The contradiction revealed in this work may throw light on the perplexing problem of AA functions pertaining to the description of buffeting loads of bridge decks.Some existing theoretical AA models derived from flutter derivatives according to interrelations valid only for thin airfoil theories,which have been employed rather extensively in bridge aerodynamics,are demonstrated to be illogical.Finally,with full understanding of the preconditions of the applicability of linear superposability of the unsteady aerodynamic forces,suggestions in regard to experiment-based AA functions are presented.

Catastrophe model and its experimental verification ofstatic loading rock system under impact load

According to the catastrophe model for impact buckling of static loading structures, a new catastrophe model for impact loading failure of a static loading rock system was established, and one dimension (1D) catastrophe model was analyzed. The analysis results indicate that the furcation collection where catastrophe may take place is not only decided by mechanical system itself but also relates to exterior loading, which is different from the results obtained under mono-static loading where the bifurcation collection is only determined by mechanics of the system itself and has nothing to do with exterior loading. In addition, the corresponding 1D coupled static-dynamic loading experiment is designed to verify the analysis results of catastrophe model. The test is done with Instron 1342 electro-servo controlled testing system, in which medium strain rate is caused by monotony rising dynamic load. The parameters are obtained combining theoretical model with experiment. The experimental and theoretical curves of critical dynamic load vs static load are rather coincided, thus the new model is proved to be correct.

目前,大部分考虑加载历史的梁轨相互作用研究都集中在直线桥梁上,针对曲线桥梁,尤其是小半径曲线桥梁,梁轨相互作用的研究相对较少。采用理想弹塑性滞回阻力模型模拟扣件纵向阻力,运用有限元软件,建立以城东特大桥为研究对象的钢轨-桥梁-墩台三维有限元空间力学计算模型,研究曲线半径对于梁轨相互作用的影响,探究了多荷载耦合作用、往复荷载作用以及循环荷载作用下考虑加载历史效应的曲线桥梁梁轨相互作用情况,并提出“拉力百分比”以及“压力百分比”的概念以便分析曲线半径对传统线性叠加法误差的影响。结果表明,曲线桥梁中梁轨纵、横向相互作用分别与曲线半径成正、反比,相关数据改变幅度与曲线半径成反比且当曲线半径超过800 m时基本收敛,此时可采用“以直代曲”的简化算法;曲线半径对于横向梁轨相互作用影响程度大于纵向,相较于挠曲、制动工况,伸缩工况受曲线半径影响更加显著;多荷载耦合作用下,采用传统线性叠加法相较于考虑加载历史更为保守且温度荷载起主要贡献;考虑加载历史时钢轨在往复荷载作用下会产生不可忽视的残余内力,且在循环荷载作用下将会产生收敛于第1次往复荷载下的残余内力,这是扣件纵向阻力的弹塑性滞回特性决定的;线性叠加法误差与曲线半径具有相关性,相较于挠曲、制动工况,伸缩工况下对其更为敏感。研究结果可为考虑加载历史下曲线桥梁结构设计提供参考。

冲击载荷下叠合岩层巷道围岩的应力演化数值模拟研究——基于岩层运动并行计算系统StrataKing

煤系地层属于典型的层状沉积岩层,这在传统连续介质模型中不能被较好反映。为了探究冲击载荷下叠合岩层巷道围岩的应力演化规律,采用以拉格朗日元与离散元耦合连续-非连续方法为基础发展的岩层运动并行计算系统StrataKing,基于理想化模型分析了巷道上表面附近应力波的叠加。阐明了应力波叠加导致顶板开裂机理,并且探讨了冲击载荷幅值的影响规律。研究发现:在原始压应力波传至巷道上表面附近测点后,该测点的最大主应力刚开始呈下降-上升-下降的变化趋势,这是由原始压、拉应力波不同时刻的叠加不同导致的;由于次级应力波的波长较原始应力波的小,次级压、拉应力波的单独作用更明显,它们的叠加使巷道上表面附近测点能产生更低和更高的最大主应力,甚至导致顶板开裂;冲击载荷幅值越大,近似阶梯增长阶段中拉裂纹平均发展速度越快,巷道围岩最终开裂范围越大,巷道围岩平衡越困难。

移动荷载作用下底部局部脱空地基梁力学响应研究

目的针对地基由于塑性变形、雨水冲蚀等引起混凝土路面底部产生的脱空效应,方法 将底部局部脱空混凝土路面简化为跨越空洞的弹性地基梁,采用Kelvin地基模型模拟路基对路面的作用,建立移动荷载作用下局部脱空地基梁动力响应控制方程,运用振型叠加法推导地基梁动力响应解析解。通过与既有理论方法计算结果对比,验证本文方法的正确性。然后采用推导出的理论解析解探讨荷载移动速度、地基弹性系数、地基梁抗弯刚度和脱空区宽度对地基梁动力响应的影响。结果 分析表明:忽略地基梁底部局部脱空的影响,将导致地基梁动力响应理论计算值偏小。地基梁底部局部脱空对脱空区正上方梁的振动位移影响较大,而对脱空区外侧地基梁的振动位移影响较小。地基梁抗弯刚度越小,脱空区宽度对地基梁中点振动位移最大值的影响越显著。当地基梁底部脱空区宽度与梁计算长度的比值为2/9时,地基梁中点振动位移最大值约为不考虑地基梁底部脱空影响时的5倍。增大地基梁抗弯刚度和地基弹性系数可以减小跨越空洞区地基梁中点振动位移,但当地基梁底部脱空区宽度大于1/3梁的计算长度时,提高既有地基弹性系数的控制效果反而较差。结论 混凝土路面底部脱空会加剧车辆荷载下的动力响应。
