True Triaxial Tests

This study presents the numerical simulation of a true triaxial test by means of the discrete element method (DEM). Experimental results performed on Toyoura sand are employed as reference and the calibration methodology is explained. Physical aspects of the real soil, such as the grain size distribution and the relative density, are considered during the generation of the virtual sample. It is shown that the main aspects of the macro-mechanical behaviour of granular soils during compression loading can be fairly represented by the idealised simulations with particles.

True Triaxial Tests

This study is aimed at better understanding the deformation and failure mechanism of surrounding rock during excavation unloading of a high-stress rock mass and determining the reasonable reinforcement time for the surrounding rock. To fulfill this aim, true triaxial tests were carried out on different loading and unloading paths during the unilateral unloading of a high-stress rock mass. The variational condition for minimization of plastic complementary energy is obtained, the optimal reinforcement time is determined, and the range of the plastic zone in the surrounding rock reinforced by anchor mesh-cable-grouting is compared and analyzed. The results are as follows: (1) Based on the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion and the deformation reinforcement theory of surrounding rock, the stable state with the minimum reinforcement force is obtained. (2) After the true triaxial tests on the unilateral unloading of the third principal stress were carried out under different confining pressures, loading continued to be performed. Compared with rock failure without confining pressure, in the conventional uniaxial compression test, the failure of samples is dominated by composite splitting-shear failure; the unilateral unloading stress-concentration failure is a progressive failure process of splitting into plates followed by cutting into blocks and then the ejection of blocks and pieces. (3) The relationship between the time steps of the surrounding rock stability and the excavation distance is obtained. The supporting time can be divided into four stages: presupport stage, bolt reinforcement stage, anchor cable reinforcement stage, and grouting reinforcement stage. (4) In the range of within 5 m behind the tunneling face, the plastic zone of the surrounding rock with support is reduced by 7 m as compared with that with no support. In the range of over 5 m behind the tunneling face, the plastic zone of the roadway floor with support is reduced by 2.6 m as compared with that without support, and the deformation is reduced by 90%. These results can serve as a reference for controlling the behavior of surrounding rock during excavation unloading of high-stress rock masses.
