Acoustic Emission Test

With RMT-150C rock testing machine and AEWIN E1.86 DISP acoustic emission system applied, the acoustic emission test was accomplished with two kinds of rock samples including marble and granite under uniaxial compression. Cyclic loading and continuous loading were used through the experiment, and the mechanical performance and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics were obtained during the process of rock progressive failure. Details related to the relationship between amount of AE and stress-strain was given in this paper. A comparison between marble and granite was made as well following the general AE law, on the basis of which, the failure mechanism of rock mass was investigated. Finally, some conclusions can be summarized as follows:(1) AE activity features are different with stress state variation in rock failure process;(2) loading patterns make a direct impact on the failure process thereby affecting AE activities;(3)AE activities are various basing on the different types of rocks, structures and failure modes.

Two Parameters

A major challenge in rock mechanics has been the realistic modeling that can reveal the progressive accumulation of damage and shear localization in a brittle rock under compression. The Rock Failure Process Analysis code (RFPA2D) is an efficient tool and realistic model to simulate such complexities. A key assumption of the code is that the heterogeneity of elastic moduli and failure strength are characterized by the Weibull distribution with two parameters (m and σ0 ). However, these two parameters do automatically not relate to the microstructural parameters, such as grain size and microcrack statistics. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to elucidate the micromechanical basis of these Weibull parameters, specifically how they depend on microstructural attributes such as grain size and crack statistics. Secondly, a methodology was developed to quantitatively determine the relevant micromechanical parameters for input into the RFPA2D code. Finally, the methodology was implemented by quantifying the microcrack geometry and statistics of real rock and simulating its uniaxial compression and progressive failure behavior. The simulated result agrees well with the experimental study.

This is accomplished by a variety of indoor rock mechanics experiments and experimental sound emission, taking Chengde area of Hebei Province the tunnel rock made of rock as research object to simulate various loading rock failure process. To analysis the data obtained of acoustic emission and Dynamics in the process obtaining the characteristic parameters of rock failure process in order to Monitor and Forecast. Through the three axial compression test and the process of acoustic emission signal acquisition discussed the relation between the mechanical parameters of rock acoustic emission parameters of stress. The characteristic parameters of acoustic emission signals with stress and time change through analyzing the acoustic Emission characteristics of each stage in the process of rock failure provide the basis for the prediction of rock burst.

Concrete three-point bending beams with preexisting cracks are widely used to study the growth process of I-II mixed mode cracks. Studying the failure characteristics of preexisting cracks at different locations on concrete three-point bending beams not only has important scientific significance but also has a wide range of engineering application backgrounds in the safety assessment of engineering structures. In this paper, through several numerical experiments, the influence of preexisting cracks at different positions on the failure characteristics of concrete three-point bending beams is studied, and three typical failure modes are obtained. The failure process of the specimens with three typical failure modes is discussed in detail, and it is pointed out that the crack failure mode is tensile failure. The change trends of bearing capacity, acoustic emission quantity, and acoustic emission energy of three typical failure modes are analyzed. The maximum bearing capacity, the maximum acoustic emission quantity, and energy of three failure modes of concrete three-point bending beams generally show an increasing trend.

Tunnel Instability

Fault is one of the most important factors affecting tunnel instability. As a significant and casual construction of Jinping II hydropower station, when the drain tunnel is excavated at depth of 1600 m, rockbursts and water inrush induced by several huge faults and zone of fracture have restricted the development of the whole construction. In this paper, a progressive failure progress numerical analysis code-RFPA (abbreviated from Rock Failure Process Analysis) is applied to investigate the influence of faults on tunnel instability and damaged zones. Numerical simulation is performed to analyze the stress distribution and wreck regions of the tunnel, and the results are consistent with the phenomena obtained from field observation. Moreover, the effects of fault characteristics and positions on the construction mechanical response are studied in details. Some distribution rules of surrounding rock stress of deep-buried tunnel are summarized to provide the reasonable references to TBM excavation and post-support of the drain tunnel, as well as the design and construction of similar engineering in future.

Indirect Tensile

Brazilian test is a standardized test for measuring indirect tensile strength of rock and concrete disc (or cylinder). Similar test called indirect tensile test has also been used for other geomaterials. Although splitting of the disc into two halves is the expected failure mode, other rupture modes had also been observed. More importantly, the splitting tensile strength of rock can vary significantly with the specimen geometry and loading condition. In this study, a numerical code called RFPA2D (abbreviated from Rock Failure Process Analysis) is used to simulate the failure process of disc and ring specimens subject to Brazilian test. The failure patterns and splitting tensile strengths of specimens with different size and loading-strip-width are simulated and compared with existing experimental results. In addition, two distinct failure patterns observed in ring tests have been simulated using RFPA2D and thus this verifies the applicability of RFPA2D in simulating rock failure process under static loads.
