POROTHERMOELASTIC MECHANICAL MODEL OF WELLBORE STABILITY IN SHALE FORMATIONS
Based on the poroelastic theory and the anisotropic linear elastic mechanics,and considering the influence of fluid components in porous media and coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical(THM) function,the porothermoelastic governing equations of anisotropic porous media is established. The constitutive equations and porothermoelastic mechanical model in borehole coordinates are obtained by adopting coordinate transformation methods under the assumption that shale formation is considered transverse isotropic media. The basic methods of solving are given by superposition principle,and the strength theory of weak plane is introduced to distinguish stability of shale formation. Finally,the accuracy of the model is verified by the stress distribution around a vertical borehole and the instance analysis of well W201–H1. The result shows that the calculated stress around the vertical borehole is completely consistent between conventional model and this new model(max. error is 0.03%),and the analysis results of wellbore stability for well W201–H1 have a good consistency with practical situations. Conversely,the calculated results using conventional model will result in a large deviation,and the accuracy and reliability of the model are verified. As time goes on,the collapse areas around the borehole are gradually broadened and deepened. The anisotropic rock strength,anisotropic rock elasticity,seepage effects and heat-transfer effects around borehole are the important reasons affecting wellbore instability in shale formations. However,anisotropic rock strength is the main mechanism of borehole instability. Thus,it¢s necessary to consider the influence of shale anisotropy and coupled THM effects on borehole stability. The research results can provide a reference for borehole stability analysis and drilling in the gas shale formations.
investigation ON fracture initiation modes OF HORIZONTAL WELLS based on laboratory hydraulic fracturing test
In order to investigate the initiation modes of hydro-fractures in horizontal wells,Laboratory hydraulic fracturing test was carried out using outcrop shelly limestone to simulate horizontal well hydraulic fracturing. The phenomena of fracture initiation and propagation around the horizontal wellbore were described and analysed by adding tracer to the fracturing fluid,analysing pumping curve,arranging AE monitoring system and splitting sample after test. Conclusions are as follows:(1) The initiation modes of hydro-fractures could be divided into three types:one transverse fracture(mode I),transverse multi-fractures(Mode II),transverse-longitudinal crossed fractures(Mode III). (2) Each hydro-fracture initiation mode has its certain pumping curves. Mode I had a low breakdown pressure followed by a sharp drop. Mode II had a relatively high breakdown pressure,then the pressure went up and fluctuated dramatically. Mode III also had a high breakdown pressure,but the pressure fluctuated slightly. (3) Among the specimens,the three initiation modes occurred randomly and the breakdown pressures were dispersed. (4) The AE activity could reflect the initiation and propagation of hydro-fractures and reached its peak value at the fracture initiation moment. (5) The area in which AE events concentrated was in agreement with the actual location of the hydro-fractures. AE locating results could be used to preliminary judge the distribution of hydro-fractures. (6) One transverse hydro-fracture was more likely to be formed at relatively high pumping rate,while the fracture geometry tended to be complex at relatively low pumping rate. Pumping rate is a key factor to determine the initiation mode. (7) It may be feasible to conjecture the initiation and propagation of the hydro-fractures using site fracturing pumping curves.

To establish the relationship between the scheme of coupled-crack and strength deterioration for the coal and rock mass as the target,the interaction of injection water measure and blasting measure are defined as coupled-crack,and the coupled-crack mechanism is analyzed,giving the crack propagation criterion for the implementation of coupled-crack technology. Strength deterioration analysis method of fluid-solid coupling model affected by explosion is put forward. By using numerical simulation method,we establish the models for injecting water and obtaining explosion load,axially load is applied after finishing explosion loading,the strength degradation degree of overall model at different coupled-crack schemes is analyzed. The results show that: the essence of coupled-crack is that detonation gas and shock wave formed by explosion spreads in softened coal and rock mass,coupled-crack effect is greater than the simple superposition of basting and injection water;Improve water pressure can increase the strength degradation rate of coal and rock mass,model strength has a significantly decreased with the increase of drill diameter(explosion). The relationship between the coupled-crack parameters and strength deterioration degree of f is obtained,the damage degree of coal body caused by injection water pressure of explosive consumption is quantitatively evaluated. In engineering practice,the strength of coal mass from steeply dipping extra-thick coal seam after coupled-crack is 5.48 MPa,which has a decreased by 40.07% compared with the implementation of injection water. The working face recovery rate meets the requirements of national standards for thick coal seam,which realizes the objective of improving the top coal recovery rate,providing experiment method and basis for the quantitative evaluation of coupled-crack effect.
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON MESO-DAMAGE CHARACTERISTIC OF DOUBLE SHEARED SANDSTONE
Using independent developmental coal-rock microscopic shear testing device,the shear tests under different loading rates were carried out. An in-depth research on micro-crack propagation process and micro-crack extension space distribution was conducted by the acoustic emission technique as well as image processing technique. The result shows that the shear strength of sandstone increases with the increase of the loading rate,and presenting a linear relation. For double sheared sandstone,crack propagation and penetration on both sides are not synchronized,and the growth of micro fissure on the one side became more rapid because of the stress concentration caused by the crack damage on the other side. The formation time of penetrating main crack shortened greatly. The micro-crack initiation positions which were generally located at a point or points near the pre-shear plane extended in the vertical direction substantially. Meanwhile,the closer micro-cracks interacted with each other until penetrating to a whole crack. During the process of micro-crack propagation of sandstone,the vertical micro-cracks turned into lateral bifurcation cracks,and the micro-cracks which are perpendicular to the vertical direction stopped expansion. The failure modes are detour,pinning,holding bifurcation,induced bifurcation,hack,stop detour,hook back etc.,mainly detour and pinning.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON ACCUMULATION CHARACTERISTIC OF DIFFERENT ROCK AVALANCHE DEBRIS PARTICLES SIZE
Rock avalanche rock debris caused by rock collapse is very dangerous geological disasters. The debris flow with a sudden can achieve high speed in a very short period of time,and the rocks and detrital material move to a very far distance,the damage and effect range are very great. In order to study the different sizes of rock avalanche flow distance of migration and accumulation characteristics,we have carried out the rock avalanche physical model test of small scale with five different particle sizes of rock detritus dry unconfined particle materials. Experimental results show that under the same test conditions,rock particle size influence on sliding distance and the equivalent friction coefficient is larger. The larger the rock particle size,the greater the sliding distance and pile length,the smaller the equivalent friction coefficient. Five different rock particle sizes are similar of the accumulation form and accumulation width increases along with the increase of particle size. The measured rock particle velocity is greater than the collapse theory calculated value.
STUDY ON MECHANISMS AND PHYSICAL SIMULATION EXPERIMENT OF SLAB BUCKLING ROCKBURST IN DEEP TUNNEL
With combination of typical rockburst cases happened in deep tunnels of Jinping II hydropower station,formation mechanism and function mechanism of structural plane of slab buckling rockburst were analyzed. The research shows that slabbing failure of surrounding rock is caused by excavation unloading and the action of the tangential concentrated stress will lead to the buckling deformation of slabs towards the excavation space as well as growing strain energy stored in the slabs. When the amount of energy stored in the slabbing rock structure exceeds its energy storage limitation,or due to external disturbances,slab buckling rockburs will take place with the characteristics of crushing of slabs and ejection of rock. The gradual failure process of slabbing failure makes the structural planes be active. The existence and extension of structural planes will reduce the stability of slabbing rock structure which in turn promotes the occurrence of rockburst. The structural planes with different inclination angles play different roles in the formation of slab buckling rockburst. Slabbing specimens were made according to the architectural feature of slabbing surrounding rock and physical simulation tests of slab buckling rockburst were conducted under two different loading modes. The experiment results show that propagation of pre-existing fissures makes the specimens split into slabs,and further action of compression load cause buckling deformation of slabs towards the free face which leads to the instability destruction phenomenon of specimens characterized by crushing of slabs and ejection of rock. The research results have an important significance for understanding and support control of slab buckling rockburst.

On the basis of damage theory,combing effective stress principle with Lemaitre¢s strain equivalence assumptions,an expression of effective stress under stress and seepage coupling condition was established. Assuming that the micro-unit strength obeys Weibull distribution,a statistical damage constitutive model considering pore water pressure was established. Comparing the test data with the results obtained from the statistical model,the new model can fit the test data well,showing the validity and feasibility of the new model. Then the relationship between pore water pressure and model parameters,damage characteristics were discussed,and it will provide good reference for safety analysis of rock engineering under stress and seepage coupling condition.
A STUDY OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF JOINT UNDER NORMAL CYCLIC LOADING/UNLOADING
According to experimental data of joint normal cyclic loading/unloading,joint normal stiffness expressions are gained from hyperbolic function and semi-log function respectively which are used to fit joint normal stiffness-closure curves. These expressions are implemented into continuously yielding joint model and cyclic loading/unloading programs are edited by FISH language embedded within three-dimensional distinct element code(3DEC). The numerical simulation of a rock joint under normal cyclic loading/unloading is conducted. The results show that the numerical simulation method in this paper is valid and that joint normal stiffness values gained from hyperbolic function are different from semi-log function,but both of normal stress-closure curves from two functions are really close to laboratory test results and meet joint properties under normal cyclic loading/unloading. The results can finally lay a foundation for studies on the dynamic properties of rock mass,the dynamic response analysis and the assessment of stability and safety of slope in rock mass engineering.

In order to deeply study the mechanism of coal and gas outburst,and having the further awareness and understanding of coal and gas outburst from the point of view of energy. Based on the combined effects of coal and gas outburst hypothesis,using a combination of theoretical analysis and experimental methods,analyzing the coal and gas outburst of energy dissipation mechanism,obtaining the expression of elastic potential energy and gas energy. And a mechanical model describing the coal and gas was established,owing the mathematical function formula of outburst coal and its stacking location. Then the mobile power,crushing power and friction power were calculated according to the stacking states and broken situation of outburst coal. And then,the outburst conditional expression between coal and gas outburst and the physical and mechanical parameters of coal and gas,the structural parameters of tunnel were set up. Developing the instant relief symmetry breaking coal experimental setup in the high-pressure gas,analyzing the factors of coal and gas outburst,which including the mechanical properties of the coal gas pressure,ground stress. The results showed that:The compressive strength and coal consistent coefficient of outburst coal are lower than non-outburst coal. Under the effect of gas of single factor,lower gas pressure can¢t make the complete coal crushing,ground stress has a significant impact on the coal and gas outburst. The temperature will drop in the process of coal and gas outburst.

For the failure mechanism of straight joint shield tunnel lining structure under side-unloading conditions,a quasi-static test method is proposed. And a full-scale test of anti-collapse property is completed. Based on the test results and phenomena,the whole bearing process of lining structure were analyzed. The failure mode,ultimate bearing capacity and overall safety of lining structure were discussed. Through experiments and calculations:the failure of lining structure is a beam hinge mechanism,while sufficient plastic hinges appear,the ultimate bearing capacity of the structure can be estimated by virtual work theory. Using load reserve ratio as a safety indicator,the overall safety factor of lining structure under side-unloading conditions is 1.62.
COMPARISON OF EVOLUTION CHARACTERISTICS OF IMMEDIATE AND TIME DELAYED ROCKBURSTS UNDER DIFFERENT EXCAVATION METHODS
For a case of circular deep-buried tunnel,cracking extent and extending length in surrounding rock masses under blasting and TBM methods are calculated,and energy dissipation during the cracking of surrounding rock masses is analyzed. In addition,based on the index of releasable strain energy,rank and position of rockbursts are determined. Results show that,compared with the quasi-static unloading of in-situ stress caused by tunnel boring machine excavation,the transient release of in-situ stress induced by blasting excavation aggravates the cracking in surrounding rock masses,and enlarges the energy dissipation during this process. This minifies the releasable strain energy after the excavation unloading and brings down the risk of time delayed rockbursts;while during the transient release of in-situ stress,influenced by high aggregation of energy,the releasable strain energy is enhanced,and the risk of immediate rockbursts is enlarged for the blasting excavation.
STUDY OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WUDONGDE LAYERED ROCKMASS UNDER UNLOADING CONDITIONS BY IN-SITU TRUE TRIAXIAL TESTS
In-situ true triaxial tests are conducted on thin-bedded marbled dolomite rock of the underground powerhouse tailwater tunnel of Wudongde hydropower station to investigate the deformation properties and strength properties of the engineering rock mass in unloading conditions. The sample is a square cylinder with 50 cm length,50 cm width and 100 cm height and contains 20–30 layers. Preloading is applied to avoid sample getting loosed in chipping process. Deformation tests are conducted under geostress level firstly and then simulating geostress variation pattern in the excavation process,the axial pressure is increased and then the lateral pressure perpendicular to bedding is step unloaded till sample failure. Some conclusions are drawn as follows:(1) Deformation is orthotropic. The ratio of the deformation modulus perpendicular to bedding to that parallel to bedding is 0.34–0.69. Beddings are opened and the lateral expansion coefficient is 0.52 while loading parallel to bedding and conversely,beddings are compacted and the lateral expansion coefficient is 0.25 while loading perpendicular to bedding. (2) There is large plastic deformation. The ratio of unloading residual deformation to loading deformation is 0.4–0.8 in the process of cyclic loading. (3) Loading deformation modulus is positively correlation with lateral compression and unloading deformation modulus perpendicular to bedding is negatively correlation with lateral compression. (4) Unloading deformation is nonlinear and the correlation between deformation modulus and unloading stress difference can be described by negative exponential function. (5) Sample failure is shear failure of bedding surface and sample volume is continuously and acceleratly expanded. (6) Mohr-Coulomb parameters of bedding surface are calculated based on shear failure mode of weak surface. Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker-Prager parameters of rockmass are calculated with presupposition that samples were homogeneous rockmass. The applicability of the parameters is analyzed.
Experimental Study of Blasting Vibration AND DAMAGE Characteristics on frozen Shaft wall
The model test is an effective method of the study on vibration and damage characteristics of the frozen wall in the process of blasting excavation. This physical model test scheme was designed in accordance with similarity theory. The frozen model was excavated by blasting,meanwhile,recorded the vibration information of key points. The regression analysis determined the fitting formula of velocity and main frequency,as well as the relationship between the main frequency and the peak velocity. Using the predictive value of the main frequency to back calculate vibration velocity of the appointed points on the frozen wall,compared with the blasting allowable safety vibration velocity from Blasting Safety Regulation(GB 6722—2014),The results show that the vibration regularity meet the Sadov¢s formula and the frequency meet the similarity criterion formula. Then the velocity and frequency attenuation characteristic of frozen wall is obtained. On the basis of field test results,it is feasible to evaluate rock damage based on the blasting allowable safety vibration velocity. The problem of the safety evaluation of the frozen wall after quantitative consideration of the main frequency effects was solved. The conclusions can provide some scientific references for frozen rock blasting in shaft for the similar strata.
Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar Test and Dynamic Strength Research of Salt Rock Under Three-Pressure
In order to study the dynamic strength of salt rock,taking Yingcheng salt rock of Hubei province as research object,self-developed split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB) apparatus with triaxial confining pressure was used to study the dynamic compression property of salt rock under 5 MPa and 15 MPa confining pressure. Dynamic stress-strain curves of salt rock under different confining pressure and strain rate were obtained. Based on a unified strength-strain rate model of competition between thermoactivational mechanism and the macro-viscosity mechanism,combined with the results of SHPB test data,a formula was derived to calculate the dynamic strength of rock salt under different confining pressures,and the formula was validated by the measured data. The results show that:(1) the peak stress and ductility of salt rock presents remarkable strain rate and confining pressure effect under impact compression loading,the peak stress increases with the strain rate increases,and the confining pressure has a significant effect on peak stress and salt rock ductility;(2) the fitting effect of the formula for calculating dynamic strength of rock salt is satisfactory with minor error,the average relative error is 2.8%,the maximum relative error is 7.8%,which provide reference for the research of salt rock dynamic strength.
CALCULATION AND VERIFICATION FOR JOHNSON-HOLMQUIST CONSTITUTIVE MODEL PARAMETERS OF TIGHT SANDSTONE
Johnson-Holmquist(J-H) constitutive model has been widely used to study the dynamic failure process of rock. But for the reason that J-H constitutive model contains many parameters and determining these parameters requires a lot of experiments,J-H constitutive model for describing the dynamic mechanical properties of rocks is lack of accurate and reliable model parameters. The triaxial static and dynamic rock mechanics test of the tight sandstone were carried out,and the mothed of determining J-H model parameters was discussed. The parameters and parameters range of tight sandstone from Xujiahe formation of Sichuan basin were determined. The parameters were used in the AUTODYN software to simulate the failure process of rock in split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB) test. The results show that the tress wave curves form test and numerical simulation are in good agreement. The average error of the dynamic stress-strain curves between simulation and test results is 14.31%,and so the accuracy of the model parameters is verified.
DAMAGE SOFTENING STATISTIC MODEL OF ROCK BASED ON THREE FAILURE TYPES
Uniaxial and triaxial compression mechanical tests were carried out to study the mechanical properties and constitutive relation of rock in post peak state. Based on the different stages and different failure types of rock in the uniaxial and triaxial compression mechanical tests,“segmentation constitutive model” and “damage softening statistic model in different failure types” were built. Yield point,peak point and residual strength point were used to divide the process into three stages in segmentation constitutive model,and the function of constitutive relation was founded. The failure types of rock in compression were divided into tensile failure in low confining pressure,shear failure in high confining pressure,and tensile-shear composite failure in moderate or low confining pressure in the damage softening statistic mode in different failure type,circumferential strain,shear strain and volumetric strain were chosen as damage variables to provide constitutive models,which were proved to be better in describing the relation of stress and strain of rock in the pre-peak and post-peak states,and revealing the damage development process of rock.
ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF FROST HEAVE FORCE ACTING ON COLD-REGION TUNNEL LINER CONSIDERING ANISOTROPY FROST HEAVE OF SURROUNDING ROCK
Frost heave force should be considered when designing a cold-region tunnel,so as to prevent frost damage. The anisotropic frost heave of surrounding rock of cold region tunnel is described. The analytical solution for the frost heave force of a cold-region tunnel is derived using the non-uniform frost heave coefficient k,in which the anisotropic frost heave expansion is considered. When k = 1,the frost heave expansion is isotropic,and the analytical solution derived in this paper is equivalent to LAI Yuanming¢s solution. Theoretical analyses and calculation analyses show that,there is no frost heave force on the circular tunnel liner if the frost heave expansion is isotropic. The example given by LAI Yuanming¢s paper presents a frost heave force,in which the elastic modulus of the frozen surrounding rock in the example is smaller than the modulus of unfrozen surrounding rock,which contradicts with the actual situation. The assumptions of the frost heave behavior in other analytical solutions are not in accordance with the actual situation,causing the overestimation of the frost heave force. The anisotropic frost heave of surrounding rock is an important reason causing the frost heave force on cold region tunnel. When the values of the surrounding rock modulus and the non-uniform frost heave coefficient are within their reasonable value ranges,the results of present solution agrees well with the actual situation. As k gets bigger,the liner would be pressed by the frost heave force,and the value of the force increases simultaneously with k. When the value of k is determined,the frost heave force is in inverse linear relationship with the elastic modulus ratio of the frozen and non-frozen surrounding rock EII/EIII.
DEVELOPMENT OF SERVO CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR IN SITU ROCK MASS MECHANICS TEST AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Currently,the in situ rock mass mechanical test technology is still in the backward status of manual loading and unloading and artificial recording. To cope with this issue,the servo control and data acquisition system for in situ rock mass mechanics test have been successfully developed. It′s operational principle,structure characteristics and key techniques are introduced. The system has such noticeable features as follows:automatic servo control and data collection during whole test process with high precision;high reliability and stable performance;simple instrument operation and convenient data processing after the experiment;application to all kinds of in situ rock mass mechanics test with prominent advantages. This system is used to carry out 6 points deformation test and 12 points direct shear test of rock mass for two-mica schists of water diversion system of Danba hydropower station in the Dadu River. It gets the whole process curves of deformation test and direct shear test of rock mass. The experiment results show that two-mica schists have significant characteristics of anisotropy. This system provides a new method for researching the deformation and strength characteristics of complicated engineering rock mass.
SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT STUDY OF SWELLING ROCK HUMIDITY STRESS FIELD CONSTITUTIVE MODEL
To evaluate the influence of swelling rock humidity-stress field on surround rock deformation and secondary stress state,firstly,based on the incremental theory,swell rock humidity stress field elastoplastic constitutive model was established. And the numerical difference scheme was deduced. Secondly,based on the FLAC3D secondary development program module,the humidity-stress field constitutive model was coded. The algorithm flowchart and several case techniques were provided. Thirdly,the humidity stress field elastoplastic constitutive model was tested in an engineering example,by comparing its results with traditional Mohr-Coulumb model. Results showed that the humidity stress field model performed better,and visible improvement in detecting changes of surround rock deformation and secondary stress state caused by swelling force. The validation of the humidity stress field constitutive model was verified.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND ENERGY MECHANISM OF CALCAREOUS SANDSTONE SUBJECTED TO WATER CHEMISTRY
The deformation and failure of rock are closely relative to the change of energy in the loading process. In order to study the influences of different water chemical solutions on mechanical properties and energy mechanism of calcareous sandstone,uniaxial compression test is carried out under chemical corrosion and natural samples by WDT–1500 reactive material testing machine. The experimental results show that the water chemical solution has a significant effect on the strength and deformation characteristics of calcareous sandstone. The corrosion strength characteristics and anti deformation ability of specimens have different degrees of deterioration after the corrosion,and it has the obvious stage to time. There is the clear BDT(brittle-ductile transformation) property in the test. The corresponding portions of the strain energy of chemical corroded sandstone specimens are less than corresponding values of natural specimens. The energy stored by the form of releasable elastic strain energy percentage of the absorbed strain energy decreases,and the longer the chemical corrosion,the smaller the Ue/U. The effects of pH,concentration and composition of chemical solution on the corresponding portions of the strain energy at peak stress are significant,which shows that water chemical solution has obvious influence on the total absorbed energy U and energy storage limit. The longer the chemical corrosion,the stronger corrosion degree of the same chemical solution on sandstone specimens,and the total absorbed energy U and dissipated energy increase,but the time effect of releasable elastic strain energy is not obvious. The real-time evolution process of calcareous sandstone specimens can be divided into different stages.
QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF HOEK-BROWN STRENGTH CRITERION BASED ON GSI
Quantitative study was conducted on the GSI score chart in the Hoek-Brown criterion. A new quantitative GSI chart was established and the problem that volumetric joint count of rock mass could not be accurately determined was solved. The rock mass integrity index was used to replace the rock mass volume in order to solve the problem in proper quantitative value determination for the rock mass integrity. This chart also applied the interval number theory to indicate the uncertainty of the geological strength index,which was better in line with the actual situation of onsite value determination for the mechanical parameters of rock mass. It took into account the operability in selective acquisition of field test data and combined multiple indexes to determine the final intersection set of GSI,ensuring the reasonableness of quantitative GSI value determination and providing a theoretical basis and a transition bridge for proper acquisition of field mechanical parameters of rock mass based on indoor rock mechanics tests.
MICROSEISMIC DYNAMIC RESPONSE AND CHARACTERISTIC ANALYSIS OF COAL AND GAS OUTBURST EXPERIMENT
The foreboding information and quantitative description of coal and gas outburst precursors are the basis and precondition for hazard prediction. In order to research the occurrence mechanism and look for the precursors of coal and gas outburst,a laboratory investigation using microseismic system was carried out. A large-scale trials about coal and gas outburst had been set up,and the procedure was monitored by the high sensitivity microseismic system. The shaking triggering by coal instability and rupture process could be acquired by microseismic system,and the results shows that shaking signals distribution has obvious zoning characteristics in the whole process,including incubation period,emergence period and evolution period. For this purpose,the corresponding methods of hazard precursor quantitative description on the microseismic index were established. The indexes included N(number of events),R(event rate),E(energy) and BR(big event rate). The laboratory analysis and field measurement results show that the outburst process has obvious zoning features,and different stages have different signal features. It can be provided for the hazard prediction in advance,and be validated the occurrence mechanism further.
PERMEABILITY EVOLUTION OF LOW-PERMEABILITY ROCKS IN TRIAXIAL CREEP TESTS
In order to investigate the permeability properties of low-permeability rock during the whole process of creep,a series of triaxial creep tests for monzonitic granite with different confining pressures and seepage pressures are carried out using the multi-step loading procedure. Based on the experimental results,the permeability evolution law of the low-permeability rock during the creep period was analyzed,especially under the low stress level and failure stress level. The relation between permeability and volumetric strain was also discussed. The results show that the permeability keeps steady under low stress level,while increases significantly as the stress level reaches to the failure stress. Meanwhile,the rate of permeability change has a similar law with the creep strain rate. The permeability experiences with a trend of nonlinear decreasing rate in a primary creep stage,grows linearly in a secondary creep stage,and finally exhibits an accelerated increasing rate when tertiary creep occurs.
STUDY OF RHEOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AFFECTED BY WATER CONTENT WITH SHEAR TEST
Soil material mechanical characteristics are affected by water,which is the intrinsic factor of debris flow initiation. In order to investigate the affect and demonstrate the debris flow initiation mechanism,an apparatus named Vane shear rheomete which was improved by the four-bladed vane and used to carry out the loading-unloading test on the fine granular soil(d≤1m m). In the test,the relationships between shear stress and strain have been checked as in 5 levels of water content. The test data reveal that the strain of soil material converge to a certain value under low water content and the test loading,and the value increases as the water content increasing. While the water content reaches a certain level (28.8% in the test,named initiation level),the strain will diverge and eventually result in initiation. Those results mean that the debris flow initiation results from the rehology with the high water content. It is found that the rehology can be described by an improved Bingham model which was promoted. The model parameters were calculated by the test data and coherence between model and test data were checked,which shows the test and model can be used to demonstrate the debris flow initiation.
MODEL EXPERIMENT STUDY ON EFFECT OF DEFORMATION JOINTS ON ROAD TUNNEL RESISTING DESTRUCTION BY THRUST FAULT STICK-SLIP DISLOCATION
By means of model experiment,the effect of deformation joints on road tunnel resisting destruction by thrust fault stick-slip dislocation is analyzed. Considering two different cases(tunnel with and without deformation joints),we focus on the following characteristics caused by thrust fault stick-slip dislocation:ground deformation,strain of tunnel,failure characteristics of tunnel. The results show that deformation joints make tunnel liner avoid the direct shear force. The maximum longitudinal strain at the top of the tunnel with deformation joints is 1/7 of that without deformation joints. Deformation joints significantly decrease the maximum longitudinal strain in tunnel liner,improving the distribution of longitudinal strain. Deformation joints improve the failure mode of tunnel,making the degree of damage lighter than tunnel without deformation joints obviously. Tunnel sections do not collapse,the damage focuses on area nearby the deformation joints in the range of fracture zone.
Model test of zonal disintegration in deep rock under blasting load
To investigate the effect of blasting load on zonal disintegration in deep rock,taking high geostress roadway in Dingji coal mine of Huainan mine area as prototype,three dimensional geomechanical model test in high axial stress and blasting excavation has been carried out by cemented sand similar material and “capacity of deep rock breakage mechanics and supporting technique model test”. Model test results show that blasting strain wave signal contains both compressive strain and tensile strain,with predominant in initial compressive strain,and it attenuates quickly with propagation distance increasing. Blasting load produces some micro-cracks on similar materials nearby the boundary of roadway with deterioration of its mechanical properties and damage to its integrity. Moreover,the stress field has also been redistributed. After overload,the radial tensile strain of surrounding rock in all three positions,vault,side wall,and floor,presents a non-monotonic change,interval distribution of peaks and troughs,with distance to model roadway increasing. Under high axial load,micro-cracks caused by blasting load propagate and connect to form a macro fractured zone. The first fracture position is surrounding rock in side wall of model roadway,next fracture position is surrounding rock in floor,then last fracture position is surrounding rock in vault. After overload,there is an obvious zonal disintegration phenomenon in model.
MECHANICAL TEST OF SLAB-RENT STRUCTURE ROCK AND MESOSCOPIC MORPHOLOGY ANALYSIS OF RUPTURE SURFACE
In the region of slab-rent structure rock mass,the representative rock blocks(i.e.,slab rupture protolith),in which the slab rupture has occurred,were selected. To obtain the anisotropic properties for related strength parameters,the uniaxial compression tests with the loading direction vertical and parallel to slab rupture direction are performed. At the same time,the analysis of mesoscopic morphology of rupture surface is conducted using scanning electron microscope(SEM). In order to provide the theoretical basis for the rock mass slab rupture,we try to explore the potential inherent connection among the rock mass slab rupture,rock mechanical properties and its composition. The study shows that:the protolith with slab rupture has anisotropic characteristics and close relation with the direction of slab rupture;under the same magnitude of load,the load parallel to the direction of slab rupture is more likely to cause deformation and failure of potential slab-rent rock mass than the load vertical to the slab rupture direction;when the load is vertical to the direction of slab rupture,the rupture surface often shows both transgranular and intergranular fratures but the latter one dominates;when the load is parallel to the direction of slab rupture,the rupture surface is relative smooth and the area with intergranular fracture is larger than the area with transgranular fracture;the defects and damage in the slab rupture protolith are nearly parallel to the direction of slab rupture,and they are not only the foundation of slab rupture,but also be further developed due to the occurrence of slab rupture.
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING OF ROCK MASS ON MESOSCOPIC LEVEL BY COUPLED PFC-CFD METHOD
Existing studies on hydraulic fracturing are mainly based on macroscopic continuum method. It is difficult to reveal the microscopic mechanism of hydraulic fracturing. Taking advantage of PFC in modeling material failure and crack propagation,we developed a coupled PFC-CFD method for analyzing crack propagation in meso-level and verified by a simplified model test of a cylinder rock specimen. Then taking a tunnel project for example,we simulate the crack propagation in the process of tunnel excavation used this method and analyze the effects of the distance between the tunnel face and the high-pressure water source on the crack propagation in unsteady state seepage stage. The result shows that the coupled method is very suitable to simulate the processes of hydraulic fracturing in rock and could be applied to safety assessment in tunnel projects.

Due to the defects of simulation test device that can not precisely simulate the 3D top-coal drawing process,a self-developed 3D simulation test device for loose top-coal drawing is introduced. It is composed of test box,shield-moving and coal-drawing system,angle adjusting and monitoring system,marked particles making and locating system,box bracket and accessories. The functions of the test device are introduced as follows. The 3D test device extends the length of mining face direction compared with the 2D test device. This design can simulate the top-coal 3D drawing process precisely. By thorough design of caving shield,shield-moving and coal-drawing process can be simulated. By using angle adjusting and monitoring system,this device can simulate the inclination of coal seam both in strike and dip direction and the inclination angle is from 0° to 55°. This test device can realize the simulation of different particle sizes,caving ratios,drawing order and shield-moving speed in the condition of top-coal end loss. By locating marked particles in coal seam,the statistics of top-coal recovery and the inversion of drawing body can be realized. By using the test device,3D simulation tests for loose top-coal movement in up-dip caving condition are carried out. The top-coal recovery ratio,top-coal drawing body and the characteristic of boundary between coal and rock are obtained from tests. The test results show that the test device can simulate the top-coal drawing process precisely. It also provides a new method to study the drawing mechanism of loose top-coal in three-dimensions.
STUDY ON RESISTIVITY RESPONSE LAW OF LIMESTONE IN PROCESSES OF CONSTANT AMPLITUDE AND TIERED CYCLIC LOADING AND UNLOADING
Constant amplitude cyclic loading and unloading and tiered cyclic loading and unloading have some same rules. The difference is that when complete unloaded(loading is 0 kN) and fully loaded(loading is 35 kN in the first level of fully loading) at the first three cycles the resistivity is uccessive to decrease, while at the latter two cycles increases slightly. In the process of destructiveness loading,it also exists a fast falling period at the beginning of loading. An explanation for resistivity change rule of the two process of cyclic loading at same time by using mechanism of microfissuring closure under cyclic loading is given. Experimental research shows that rock resistivity change can provide a good characterization to microfissuring development situation in rock in the process of constant amplitude cyclic loading and unloading and tiered cyclic loading and unloading.
STUDY OF P-WAVE PROPAGATION ACROSS A NATURAL STRUCTURAL PLANE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON GROUND MOTION
Wave propagation across rock masses and the induced ground motion have a great influence in the design and construction of underground cavern/tunnel constructions and mining activities. When arriving at the ground surface,the waves will cause the ground motion which is threatening to the stability and safety of the ground buildings. The present investigation was concerned with the interaction between the blast wave and a natural structural plane by using a time-domain recursive method. Based on the conservation of momentum at wave fronts,two types of interaction were analyzed first,i.e. the interaction between blast wave(i.e. longitudinal wave) and a linearly elastic structural plane,the interaction between stress waves(longitudinal wave or transverse wave) and a free surface. Next,wave propagation between a single structure plane and the ground surface was analyzed. Considering the time shifting function,the wave propagation equation for every wave arrival at the ground surface was established. On the basis of the derived wave propagation equations,the mathematical expressions were deduced for ground surface vibration caused by stress waves. As the result of the wave superposition,the particle velocity on the ground surface is subsequently obtained.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MICRO-CHARACTERISTICS OF SWELLING FOR BLACK SHALE UNDER INFLUENCE OF WATER
In order to swelling characteristics of black shale,X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscope (SEM),nitrogen adsorption test are carried out with different soaking time under the influence of water and mineral composition,microstructure,disintegration characteristics,crystal layer spacing and swelling force variation law of crystal layer on black shale are obtained. The research result shows that the trend of argillitization of black shale increases,and the illite/smectite interstratified clay minerals presents after water soaking. With the increase of saturated time,compact layer microstructure of black shale gradually changes to the irregular mass of flocculent structure,and micro-disintegration phenomenon appears. clay minerals content in black shale causes the floe hole,pore size of black shale decreases after soaking,and micro pore ratio increases;the clay minerals content of flocculation filled by 0.3–2.0 microns of micropores. Then,we specially select the interval and swelling force of (001) crystal layer among laminated structure series minerals,typically for the white mica,illite,chlorite and illite/smectite interstratified clay minerals,as calculation objects. The white mica series mineral crystal layer has the maximal interval growth as well as the swelling force of crystal layer has reach 92 kPa,an increase of 100%. The Chlorite series mineral crystal layer has the second interval growth. But the swelling force of crystal layer has an increase of 111.8%,up to 72 kPa. The Illite and illite/smectite interstratified clay minerals crystal layer has the smallest interval growth,in addition,the swelling force of crystal layer rose by 96.4%,up to 55 kPa.
A NUMERICAL STUDY OF MODE-I PROGRESSIVE ROCK FRACTURE process OF CRACKED CHEVRON NOTCHED BRAZILIAN DISC
The cracked chevron notched Brazilian disc(CCNBD) method,which is suggested by the International Society for Rock Mechanics(ISRM) for measuring mode-I fracture toughness of rocks,was numerically investigated by a code based on microscopic damage mechanics. Varying notch width,sample geometries,material parameters and inhomogeneity are considered,and the progressive fracture process of the CCNBD specimen was intuitively presented. Through the simulated stress distributions and acoustic emission activities,the straight- through crack assumption(STCA) was strictly assessed,which is used by traditional methods for calibrating the dimensionless stress intensity factor(SIF). Numerical results show that,crack fronts of CCNBD specimens are always curved regardless of rock heterogeneity,significantly violating the STCA. For the specimen with a more slender chevron ligament,the crack front is curved more severely. Traditional critical SIFs are found to be only 90 to 95 percent of the values that are calibrated by utilizing the simulated critical crack fronts. CCNBD samples always crack from two sides of the notch width of the chevron ligament tip,and thus the specimens with relatively smaller notch width are suggested,so that the realistic fracture route of CCNBD can align well with the ideal test principle. The numerical results call for more attention to the real fracture mechanism of the chevron notched samples. A better calibration of dimensionless SIFs should consider more realistic fracture characteristics for a better measure of fracture toughness.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF CLOSURE PRESSURE OF CRACKS AND ITS INFLUENCING FACTORS UNDER UNIAXIAL PRESSURE
To deal with the issue of stress sensitivity of cracks,a physical model with known crack parameters has been set up and then the crack closure pressure was calculated based on the effective pressure-compressional wave velocity response curve. Following this approach,the experiments were designed using controlling variable method to study the effects of the initial crack aspect ratio and crack dip on the crack closure pressure. The experimental results indicated that the closure pressure increases as the initial crack aspect ratio increases. When the uniaxial pressure is not perpendicular to the crack surface,the uniaxial pressure should be resolved,and the crack begins to close when the angle reaches Byerlee¢s critical angle,and the closure pressure becomes higher as the angle increases.
A MONTE CARLO SIMULATION FOR DISCONTINUITY ORIENTATIONS USING BIVARIATE EMPIRICAL DISTRIBUTION
There exist some probability distributions for describing rock discontinuity,e.g.,Fisher distribution, Bingham distribution,and bivariate normal distribution. But in reality they are not suitable to represent the statistical characteristics of rock discontinuity orientation data in most cases. In such cases one should use the bivariate empirical distributions obtained for the discontinuity orientations in representing the statistical distributions of discontinuity orientations. The paper introduces the empirical bivariate distribution into the Monte Carlo simulation(MSC) of rock discontinuity orientations and develops a corresponding computer code,named as EMCSDO. EMCSDO is a freeware designed for researchers and practicing engineers,and can be easily mastered by them with little computer knowledge. Two examples with satisfactory results are presented to show the validity of the code. The second example also show if a theoretical distribution can be found to fit discontinuity orientations well,we should prefer to use the theoretical distribution to simulate the orientations based on Monte Carlo technique.
