Abstract The uniaxial compression test of pre-existing persistent jointed rock-like specimens is carried out by high stiffness servo control testing machine. Systematic researches on the relationship of post-peak stress-strain curve,failure form,strength after peak,the Poisson?s ratio after peak of rock masses with dip angles of persistent joints are performed. The results indicate that:(1) The post-peak stress-strain curves of specimens with joint inclination angle of 15°and complete specimens are basically the same,but the post-peak stress-strain curves of specimens with the joint inclination angle of 30°,40°,50° to 60° and complete specimens vary greatly. (2) Peak strength decreases with the increase of joint inclination angle,residual post-peak strength also generally increases as the joint angle increases. (3) Poisson?s ratio of jointed specimen increases with joint inclination angle increases,but the post-peak visual Poisson?s ratio becomes smaller in the phase of destruction with joint inclination angle increases. (4) The post-peak failure modes of specimen change with joint inclination angle. Specimens damage is splitting failure at the joint inclination angle of 15°,shear failure at the joint inclination angle of 50° and 60°, splitting and shear mixing model at the joint inclination angle of 30° and 40°. The research result can reflect mechanics,deformation and damage characteristics under uniaxial compressive loading in the phase of post-peak of rock masses with different dip angles pre-existing persistent joints.
