Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for calculating transversely isotropic damage of a layered rock mass, and belongs to the technical field of limestone damage assessment. Background Art

[0002] In the process of tunnel excavation, underground mine development and other underground engineering construction, rock mass stability assessment is a key link to ensure engineering safety and economic benefits. The mechanical properties of rock mass directly affect the construction difficulty, cost and long-term stability of the project, especially in areas with acidic groundwater. The corrosive effect of acidic water on rock will significantly weaken the mechanical properties of rock mass and increase the risk of engineering disasters.

[0003] Traditional rock mass stability assessment methods mainly rely on laboratory physical and mechanical tests and empirical formulas, which can reflect the mechanical properties of rocks to a certain extent. However, with the increasing complexity of engineering geological conditions, especially in the presence of acidic environments, traditional methods have significant limitations in accurately predicting the deterioration of rock mass mechanical properties.

[0004] In recent years, researchers have begun to explore the combination of continuous damage theory, Weibull distribution theory and rock micro-element strength theory in the modeling of rock damage and failure. The continuous damage theory describes the cumulative effect of microcracks and defects in the rock by introducing damage variables, while the Weibull distribution theory is used to describe the statistical distribution characteristics of rock micro-element strength. The rock micro-element strength theory regards rock as a collection of many micro-elements, each of which has independent strength characteristics. The combination of these theories has improved the accuracy of rock damage and failure models to a certain extent.

[0005] However, existing models often ignore the anisotropic properties of rocks when dealing with layered rock masses (such as limestone with different bedding angles), and cannot fully reflect the coupling effect of chemical damage and mechanical damage in acidic environments. In addition, many existing models fail to effectively combine dynamic monitoring data in actual projects, making it difficult to achieve real-time evaluation and early warning, limiting their application in actual projects.

[0006] In an acidic environment, acidic substances in groundwater (such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid) react chemically with carbonate minerals in rocks, resulting in changes in the pore structure of rocks and weakening of the bonding force between mineral particles, thereby causing the deterioration of the mechanical properties of rocks. This chemical damage interacts with the mechanical damage caused by external loads, making the overall mechanical behavior of the rock mass more complex and difficult to predict. Summary of the invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for calculating transversely isotropic damage of layered rock mass to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0010] b) Calculate the chemical damage variable D based on p and α c ;

[0011] c) Acoustic emission instrument monitors the cumulative ringing counts of rock samples during loading to calculate the mechanical damage variable D m ;

[0013] e) Based on the total damage variable D and initial elastic modulus E o and the initial shear modulus G o Modify the elastic modulus E′ and compressive strength σ′ of the rock mass.

[0022] Furthermore, the calculation method of the total damage variable D is:

[0023] D=D c +D m -D c D m

[0025] Furthermore, the method for correcting the compressive strength of the rock mass is:

[0026] E′=E o (1-D)

[0027] Where E′ represents the corrected compressive strength of the rock mass.

[0028] Furthermore, the method for correcting the elastic modulus of the rock mass is:

[0029] G′=G o (1-D)

[0030] Where G′ represents the corrected elastic modulus of the rock mass.

[0031] Furthermore, the limestone rock mass sample in step a) is a sub-limestone rock mass sample obtained by evenly dividing the original limestone sample using a three-dimensional grid.

[0032] Furthermore, the total damage variable of the original limestone sample is calculated as follows:

[0033]

[0034] Among them, D total represents the total damage variable of the original limestone sample, D i The total damage variable of the i-th sub-limestone rock mass sample obtained by uniform segmentation of the three-dimensional grid, ω i Represents the weight of the i-th sub-limestone rock mass sample.

[0036]

[0037] Among them, R i The dissolution rate of the i-th sub-limestone rock sample, Vi The volume of the i-th sub-limestone rock sample.

[0038] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: compared with the prior art,

[0039] 1) The present invention comprehensively considers the coupling effect of chemical damage and mechanical damage, especially in acidic environments, and can more accurately reflect the weakening mechanism of acidic groundwater on the mechanical properties of limestone. Secondly, by introducing environmental parameters such as bedding inclination α and pH value p, and using an acoustic emission instrument to monitor the ring count in real time, the method effectively captures the dynamic damage evolution process of the rock mass under actual engineering conditions, improving the real-time and accuracy of the assessment;

[0040] 2) The present invention uses a scanning electron microscope to obtain the crack density and porosity of the limestone rock sample, and uses the microstructure to adjust the chemical and mechanical damage variables, thereby more accurately reflecting the damage of the rock mass in a complex environment;

[0041] 3) The present invention adopts a modeling method that combines continuous damage theory, Weibull distribution theory and rock micro-element strength theory, fully considering the anisotropic characteristics of rocks, and improving the adaptability and prediction accuracy of the model to complex geological conditions;

It can systematically consider the heterogeneity of rocks, accurately calculate the chemical and mechanical damage variables of each region, and comprehensively evaluate the damage state of the overall rock mass. This not only improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the method, but also enhances the applicability and practical value of the method in complex geological environments.
