Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rock mass mechanics experiments, in particular to a preparation method and an experimental method for a filled fissure rock sample reflecting the water migration and water-containing conditions. Background Art

[0002] Large-scale rock mass engineering construction is often in a geomechanical environment such as "high stress, high temperature, high water pressure and disturbance", and water is one of the most important environmental influencing factors. When there are water-sensitive rocks (such as sandstone, mudstone, limestone, etc.) or filling media between structural planes (such as clay, montmorillonite, etc.) in engineering rock masses, complex physical, chemical and mechanical interactions (i.e., water-rock interaction) will occur when water contacts the rock mass, thus frequently triggering engineering geological disasters such as landslides of reservoir banks / open-pit slopes, large deformations of deep-buried caverns and floor heave of roadways.

[0003] The primary prerequisite for revealing the water-rock interaction mechanism is to clarify the water occurrence characteristics in the rock mass (rock). At present, most of the research on water-rock interaction focuses on the "content" of water in the rock, and mostly uses water content or saturation to characterize the water-containing state of the rock, and mostly assumes that the water in the rock is evenly distributed. In recent years, scholars have gradually realized that the migration process of water / moisture in the rock and the resulting non-uniform distribution of water will also significantly affect the mechanical properties and failure modes of the rock. However, the water occurrence characteristics in actual engineering rock masses are very complex. Under the influence of factors such as reservoir water level rise and fall, groundwater seepage and underground space humidity diffusion, water migrates back and forth in the rock mass, causing continuous changes in the water content, spatial distribution and wet-dry cycle of the water in the rock mass. Therefore, most of the current relevant research can only reflect some aspects of the water-containing conditions of the rock mass caused by water migration.

[0004] Filled fissure rock masses are very common in actual engineering. In many engineering disaster cases induced by water, water-sensitive rocks are usually present in the rock mass, and the fissures are filled with clay (or muddy) media. Such rock masses can be called clay-filled fissure rock masses. In this case, the water-rock interaction caused by water migration is bound to be affected by the rock mass fissures and the clay media filling them. However, most of the current research on fissure rock masses related to water focuses on their seepage characteristics, ignoring the influence of water migration on the mechanical property degradation and failure mechanism of clay-filled fissure rock masses.

[0005] It can be seen that under the combined action of moisture migration and loads (such as excavation of engineering rock masses), the mechanical properties of clay-filled fractured rock masses will deteriorate, and rupture and instability may occur, thus triggering major rock mass engineering disasters. To reveal the mechanical properties and rupture mechanism of filled fractured rock masses under the influence of moisture migration, and thus deeply understand the water-rock interaction and reveal the mechanism of water-induced related rock mass engineering disasters, there is an urgent need for methods and techniques to prepare filled fracture specimens that can reflect the moisture migration and water-containing conditions, visualize the process of moisture migration in filled fractured rock masses, and conduct physical experiments on the deterioration and rupture of the mechanical properties of filled fractured rock masses under the combined action of moisture migration and loads. However, there is currently a lack of relevant specimen preparation methods, observation methods for the moisture migration process in filled fractured rock masses and theoretical models, and relevant experimental data have not been obtained. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the problems existing in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a preparation and experimental method for filled fracture rock samples that can reflect the moisture migration and water-containing conditions, and the present invention can provide a basis for understanding the mechanism of water-rock interaction and revealing the mechanism of water-induced related rock mass engineering disasters.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a preparation method for filled fracture rock samples that can reflect the moisture migration and water-containing conditions, comprising the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Process the sandstone block into a cuboid larger than the standard cylindrical specimen.

[0009] Step 2: Place the rectangular plate on the drilling machine workbench, mark the positions of the drill holes according to the required specimen positions, and use a core drill to extract the specimens.

[0010] Step 3: Use a high-pressure water jet equipment to cut a through fracture in the middle of the specimen, and the fracture characteristics include the dip angle β and the length 2 a , and the fracture width is the same, forming a control group of different rock specimens.

[0011] Step 4: Cut and polish with a grinding machine to make standard cylindrical and disc specimens.

[0012] Step 5: Air-dry and crush the clay retrieved from the sampling site, and prepare the clay-filled fracture specimens according to the natural moisture content of the on-site clay.

[0013] The present invention also provides an experimental method for filled fracture rock samples that can reflect the moisture migration and water-containing conditions as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Step A: Carry out water absorption - water loss experiments on filled or unfilled fractured rock samples after different numbers of wet - dry cycles, measure the water absorption and water loss curves of the fractured specimens, and provide a reference for the selection of immersion and air - drying time nodes;

[0015] Step B: Conduct nuclear magnetic resonance observation experiments on the water migration process and law of filled or unfilled fractured rock samples, and observe the water migration process and spatial distribution during the immersion and air - drying processes of the fractured specimens.

[0016] Step C: Use the MTS rock mechanics experimental system to conduct Brazilian splitting experiments on filled - fractured disc specimens with different water contents and different fracture characteristics, monitor the basic mechanical information of load - displacement and stress - strain, and use an acoustic emission system to monitor acoustic emission signals, and use a high - speed camera and a high - speed microscopic monitoring system for rock fracture processes to observe and record the crack propagation process;

[0017] Step D: Use a multi - field and multi - phase rock triaxial test system to conduct uniaxial compression experiments and triaxial compression experiments on cylindrical specimens with different water contents and different fracture characteristics; during the experiment, monitor the basic mechanical information of load - displacement and stress - strain, and use an acoustic emission system to monitor acoustic emission signals and record the crack propagation process;

[0018] Step E: Take the immersion time and the air - drying time after saturation after multiple immersion - air - drying cycle operations as variables to characterize the changes in the water content and spatial distribution of water in the rock sample caused by water migration, and use the dip angle β and length 2 a to characterize the fracture; calculate the mechanical property indexes of filled - fractured rock samples under different loading conditions, and obtain the deterioration law of the mechanical properties of fractured rocks affected by water migration according to the changes of the mechanical property indexes with the water content and fracture characteristic characterization indexes.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, in Step A, the water absorption - water loss experiment is specifically as follows:

[0020] Place the filled or unfilled fractured specimens after wet - dry cycle treatment in an oven for drying, and store the dried specimens in a desiccator; then, conduct a saturation experiment and an air - drying experiment after saturation on the dried specimens after different numbers of wet - dry cycles; among them, in the saturation experiment, the states experienced by the specimens are successively dry, unsaturated, saturated, and long - term saturated; in the air - drying experiment after saturation, the states experienced by the specimens are successively saturated, unsaturated, and dry.

[0021] As a further improvement of the present invention, the saturation scheme of the saturation experiment includes:

[0022] (1) Simulate the water migration from the central fracture to the surrounding of the rock sample;

[0023] (2) Simulate the migration of moisture from the periphery of the rock sample towards the fracture direction; and in the experimental process, use a water-repellent agent and paraffin to treat the fracture and its adjacent areas.

[0024] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step B, the nuclear magnetic resonance observation experiment is specifically as follows:

[0025] In the process of preparing the fractured rock samples with different water contents, select some fractured disk and cylindrical specimens, select multiple time nodes during the water absorption and air-drying processes. First, perform different-time immersion and air-drying treatments on the fractured rock samples after different numbers of wet-dry cycles to obtain fractured specimens with different water contents; then, conduct nuclear magnetic resonance observation experiments on the specimens with different water contents.

[0026] As a further improvement of the present invention, in the nuclear magnetic resonance experiment, the gray value of the nuclear magnetic resonance image corresponds one-to-one with the water content at different positions. When establishing its quantitative correspondence relationship, first calibrate the image, use the nuclear magnetic resonance image of the fractured disk or cylindrical rock sample that is saturated with water and has a uniform water distribution as the calibration standard, extract the maximum gray value of the calibrated specimen image, and thus convert the gray value to obtain the volumetric water content at different positions of the rock sample at different immersion or air-drying times, which is used to determine the diffusion coefficient during the moisture migration process in the fractured rock mass and establish the moisture migration equation; then, determine the theoretical model of moisture migration in the fractured rock mass filled with clay.

[0027] As a further improvement of the present invention, the specific method for determining the theoretical model of moisture migration in the fractured rock mass filled with clay is as follows:

[0028] Determine the moisture migration control equation through the moisture migration law in the clay-filled fractured rock mass. When the temperature is constant, the moisture migration control equation is: In the formula, is the volumetric water content, is the diffusion coefficient, which is a function of the water content or time t , is the gradient operator; introduce the Boltzmann transformation parameter , p is a position function, represented in two-dimensional coordinates, that is , then the moisture migration control equation is transformed into: According to the initial and boundary conditions of moisture migration, obtain the relationship between the water content and or time t through experiments, and then the diffusion coefficient can be determined, thereby determining the specific expression of the moisture migration equation; among them, the initial and boundary conditions of moisture migration are: .

[0029] As a further improvement of the present invention, an empirical formula including the relationship parameters between the water content and the Boltzmann transformation parameter is used to describe the water migration law: ; In the formula, the parameters and are measured by nuclear magnetic resonance observation experiments on rock samples with different soaking or air-drying times. Thus, according to the experimental data, the parameters a , b and c are obtained by fitting; combined with the relational expressions: and , an expression of the diffusion coefficient with the water content as the independent variable is established: Thus, the diffusion coefficient of water migration in the fractured rock mass filled with water and the specific expression of the migration control equation are determined.

[0030] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step E, the mechanical property indexes include: the tensile strength T in the Brazilian splitting test, the elastic modulus E and the strength σ UCS in the uniaxial compression test, and the compressive strength σ TCS in the triaxial compression test: ; ; where is the confining pressure; the tensile strength T measured by the Brazilian splitting test, the elastic modulus E measured by the uniaxial compression test, and the cohesion c and the friction angle φ calculated from the triaxial compression test data are taken as the fractured rock mechanics parameter set, and an expression of the variation law of the mechanical property indexes with the water migration water content characterization indexes and the fracture characteristics is established, that is: Analyze the mathematical function form of the degradation law expressions of different mechanical parameters, study the physical meanings of the parameters included therein, and their relationships with the experimental conditions, so as to establish a degradation model of the mechanical parameters of the fractured rock mass filled with water under the influence of water migration.

[0031] As a further improvement of the present invention, it further includes:

[0032] According to the stress-strain data of the fractured rock samples filled with water under water migration and different loading conditions obtained from experiments, study the influence laws of the water content state, fracture characteristics, and loading conditions on the form of the stress-strain curve, and establish a constitutive model of the fractured rock mass filled with water under water migration and different loading conditions.

[0033] The present invention prepares rock sample fractures by the high-pressure water jet method, fills clay medium into the fractures to prepare fractured rock samples filled with clay, and then designs different water immersion methods to simulate the migration conditions of water in the actual fractured rock mass filled with clay. Based on this, fractured rock samples filled with clay that can reflect the water content conditions at different time nodes of water migration can be prepared. Indoor mechanical experiments are carried out using these rock samples, so as to study the migration law of water in the fractured rock mass filled with clay, as well as the degradation law and fracture mechanism of the mechanical properties of the fractured rock mass filled with clay under the influence of water migration. The research results can provide a basis for understanding the mechanism of water-rock interaction and revealing the mechanism of water-induced related rock mass engineering disasters.

[0034] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0035] 1. Through mineral composition analysis (such as XRD diffraction analysis, EDS energy dispersive spectrometer analysis) and microscopic morphology analysis (such as SEM images), the present invention can quantitatively analyze the microscopic changes of mineral particles in the fractured rock mass filled with clay before and after water-rock interaction. This provides reliable microscopic data support for the degradation mechanism of the rock mass and reveals the mesoscopic damage process of the internal structure of the rock mass by water. Using mercury intrusion testing and SEM image processing technology, the changes in the pore structure inside the rock mass can be quantitatively analyzed. This quantitative evaluation method can accurately reveal the influence of water migration on the porosity and structural strength of the rock mass, and provide a reference for the change of the physical properties of the fractured rock mass.

[0036] 2. The present invention uses sandstone as the fracture wall and clay as the filling medium, and conducts micro-meso tests on the sandstone and clay fillers before and after water-rock interaction respectively, analyzes the mineral composition and micro-meso structure of the sandstone and clay fillers, provides a method for studying the micro-meso mechanism, and also provides experimental data for the mechanism analysis of the degradation of the mechanical properties of the water-induced clay-filled fractured rock mass.

[0037] 3. By controlling the dip angle, length and width of the fractures in the experiment, the present invention studies the influence of these fracture geometric characteristics on the water migration path and speed, and simulates the complexity of water migration in the fractured rock mass in actual engineering. It enriches the understanding of water migration in the fractured rock mass and also provides an experimental basis for the in-depth study of the coupling effect between fracture geometric parameters and water degradation in the future.

[0038] 4. Through the experiment of clay-filled fractured rock mass under simulated actual engineering conditions, the present invention reveals the softening and swelling effects of water on clay fillings. This is of guiding significance for problems such as water-induced landslides and instability of underground spaces involved in geotechnical engineering. The research results show that the presence of clay fillings significantly affects the influence of water migration on the deterioration of fractured rock masses. Especially under different conditions such as fracture width and filling degree, the action modes of water on clay are different. Through microscopic testing and nuclear magnetic resonance technology, the migration path of water in clay and its erosion and weakening effects on fractures are analyzed, and further exploration is carried out on how the swelling effect of clay leads to the structural deterioration and mechanical property degradation of fractured rock masses.

[0039] 5. By controlling the water content of rock samples and the water migration path, the water migration behavior under different water content conditions is simulated. This process can reproduce the migration of water in fractured rock samples from the inside out or from the outside in, and truly reflect the water-containing characteristics of fractured rock masses in actual engineering. The present invention verifies the deterioration law of rock samples during the process of water migrating from fractures outward or from the outside to fractures by designing two water absorption and water loss experimental schemes. This innovative experimental design enables the research not only to be limited to the influence of static water content on mechanical properties, but also to cover the comprehensive action effect of water on fractured rock samples during the dynamic migration process.

[0040] 6. By designing two different immersion schemes, the present invention not only simulates the water migration from fractures to the surroundings (from the inside out), but also simulates the situation of water migrating from the outside to fractures (from the outside in). This two-way water migration mode can more truly reproduce the actual water migration process in engineering and provide more diverse experimental data.

[0041] 7. Through nuclear magnetic resonance gray-scale image analysis, the present invention establishes the migration control equation of water under different water-containing states, and then determines the water diffusion coefficient. This not only provides a theoretical basis for the water migration law in rock masses, but also quantitatively characterizes the diffusion and distribution of water in fractured rock masses through a mathematical model, laying a foundation for the mechanical research of rock masses under water-containing conditions. The present invention proposes the volumetric water content as an independent variable to study the deterioration law of the mechanical properties of fractured rock masses. This quantitative analysis method helps to reveal the specific influence of the change in volumetric water content during the water migration process on the mechanical properties of rock masses (such as elastic modulus, compressive strength, etc.).

[0042] 8. The present invention quantitatively observes the migration process of moisture under different water content states through nuclear magnetic resonance technology. This quantitative and visual research can more precisely reveal the influence of moisture on the mechanical properties of rock masses, establish the corresponding relationship between volumetric water content and image gray value, then establish a theoretical framework for moisture migration based on unsaturated diffusion theory, determine the diffusion coefficient according to the nuclear magnetic resonance results, and thus determine the specific expression of the moisture migration control equation with volumetric water content as the independent variable, and analyze the migration law in the fractured rock mass filled with cracks under different moisture migration boundary conditions.

[0043] 9. Through in-depth research on the fracture process of rock masses under moisture migration, the present invention reveals the mechanical degradation and fracture mechanism of clay-filled fractured rock masses under different moisture conditions and loading conditions. This research provides a key theoretical basis and technical support for understanding and predicting engineering disasters (such as slope landslides and cavern instability) caused by moisture.

[0044] 10. The present invention provides experimental data on moisture migration, mechanical degradation, and water-rock interaction, which can be used as the basis for numerical simulation. By establishing a numerical model of moisture migration and the degradation of fractured rock masses, researchers can better predict the impact of moisture migration on engineering rock masses and improve the stability assessment ability of geotechnical engineering.

[0045] 11. Through experiments under different loading conditions (such as Brazilian splitting experiment, uniaxial compression, and triaxial compression experiments), the present invention establishes a mechanical parameter degradation model of fractured rock masses under the influence of moisture migration. This model can provide the mechanical response law of fractured rock masses under moisture migration, especially the key parameters such as elastic modulus, tensile strength, and friction angle during the water-induced degradation process.

[0046] 12. Through the real-time acoustic emission (AE) system for real-time monitoring of acoustic emission signals and combined monitoring with a high-resolution camera, the experiment can accurately capture the fracture formation, propagation, and the fracture process caused by moisture migration. This dynamic monitoring method provides valuable real-time data for in-depth study of the fracture mechanism in fractured rock masses and can also warn of the mechanical failure process of fractured rock masses under different water content conditions.

[0047] 13. The research results of the present invention are not limited to the stability assessment of slopes, tunnels, and underground caverns in geotechnical engineering, but can also be applied to the prevention and control of disasters such as reservoir bank landslides in water conservancy and hydropower projects and slope instability in mining engineering, providing theoretical support and technical guidance for preventing fracture and instability problems caused by moisture migration in rock mass engineering.

[0056] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Embodiment

[0058] As Figure 1 shown, a method for preparing a fissured rock sample filled with water reflecting the moisture migration condition includes:

[0059] 1. To improve the sample preparation success rate, first process the sandstone block into a cuboid slightly larger than the standard cylindrical (50 mm in diameter × 100 mm in height) sample.

[0060] 2. Then place the rectangular plate on the drill press workbench to ensure that it does not move during the drilling process. Use a core drill with a diamond bit, select a bit with a diameter of 50 mm, mark the drilling position according to the required sample position, and prepare the sample. Start the drill press, and the bit slowly presses down and starts drilling. Use a coolant (such as water or oil) to cool the bit to prevent overheating, and at the same time reduce the cracks and debris of the sandstone. After drilling is completed, extract the cylindrical core, which is the required sample. During the drilling process, maintain the stability of the bit and a consistent downward pressure to avoid cracks or irregularities on the sample surface.

[0061] 3. Use a high-pressure water jet equipment to cut a through fissure in the middle of the sample, as Figure 2As shown, the fracture characteristics include dip angle β (taking 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°) and length 2a (taking 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm), and the fracture widths are the same (about 2 mm), forming a control group of different rock specimens.

[0062] 4. Then use a grinding machine to cut and polish to make cylindrical and disc specimens with heights of 100 mm and 25 mm respectively.

[0063] 5. Air-dry the clay retrieved from the sampling site, crush it, and sieve it through a 0.5 mm sieve. Prepare clay-filled fracture specimens according to the natural water content of the on-site clay, and the filling degree of each specimen is uniformly considered as 100%. As Figure 3 shown. To study the influence of the clay-filled medium, some unfilled fracture specimens are reserved for comparative tests. So far, the preparation of rock specimens is completed.

[0064] This embodiment also provides an experimental method for a filled fracture rock sample reflecting the water migration and water-bearing conditions as described above, specifically including:

[0065] Carry out water absorption and water loss experiments on the fractured rock samples after different numbers of wet-dry cycles. First, place the fractured specimens (filled or unfilled) after wet-dry cycle treatment in an oven for drying, and store the dried specimens in a drying dish; subsequently, conduct experiments on the dried specimens after different numbers of wet-dry cycles for water saturation (the specimens change from dry → unsaturated → saturated → long-term saturated) and air-drying after saturation (the specimens change from saturated → unsaturated → dry), and measure the water absorption and water loss curves of the fractured specimens to provide a reference for the selection of water immersion and air-drying time nodes.

[0066] To consider the directionality of water migration in actual rock mass engineering, two water saturation schemes are designed in this embodiment. Among them, Scheme 1 simulates the water migration from the middle fracture to the surrounding of the rock sample (from the inside to the outside), as Figure 5 shown, and Scheme 2 simulates the water migration from the surrounding of the rock sample to the fracture direction (from the outside to the inside), as Figure 4 shown. During the experiment, a water repellent and paraffin wax must be used to treat the fracture and its nearby areas.

[0067] Next, nuclear magnetic resonance observation experiments will be carried out on the moisture migration process and law in fractured rock samples (filled or unfilled). During the preparation of fractured rock samples with different water contents, some typical filled fractured disc and cylindrical specimens are selected (without considering the influence of fracture characteristics changes on the moisture migration law). The experiment will select multiple time nodes during the water absorption and air-drying processes. First, the fractured rock samples after different numbers of wet-dry cycles will be immersed in water and air-dried for different times to obtain fractured specimens with different water contents. Then, for these specimens with different water contents, nuclear magnetic resonance experiments will be carried out to observe the migration process and spatial distribution of moisture during the immersion and air-drying processes of the fractured specimens.

[0068] The gray value of the nuclear magnetic resonance image corresponds one-to-one with the water content at different positions. To quantitatively establish this correspondence, the image needs to be calibrated first, such as Figure 6 shown. Taking the nuclear magnetic resonance image of a filled fractured disc or cylindrical rock sample that is saturated with water and has a uniform moisture distribution as the calibration standard (the water content of the calibration rock sample can be easily measured by experiments), the maximum gray value of the calibration specimen image is extracted. Thus, the volumetric water content at different positions of the rock sample at different times of immersion or air-drying can be obtained by converting the gray value. These observation data will provide an experimental basis for determining the diffusion coefficient during the moisture migration process in fractured rock masses and establishing the moisture migration equation. The moisture migration process in rocks is as Figure 7 shown.

[0069] Then, determine the theoretical model of moisture migration in filled fractured rock masses. When the fractured rock sample is immersed in water or saturated and then air-dried for different times ( or ), moisture migrates in the rock sample, resulting in different water content states at different positions inside the rock sample, that is, the spatio-temporal state of moisture in the filled fractured rock mass is constantly changing. Through the moisture migration law in clay-filled fractured rock masses, and determine the specific expression of the moisture migration equation:

[0070] When the temperature is constant, the control equation of moisture migration (humidity diffusion) can be expressed as: In the formula, is the volumetric water content (the ratio of water to the volume of rock), is the diffusion coefficient (which is a function of the water content or time t), is the gradient (del) operator. Introduce the Boltzmann transformation parameter , p is a function of position. In plane problems, it is represented by two-dimensional coordinates, that is , then the moisture migration control equation can be expressed as: Further consider the initial and boundary conditions of moisture migration: It can be seen that by obtaining the water content and The relationship between (or time t) can be used to determine the diffusion coefficient , thereby determining the specific expression of the water migration equation. In this embodiment, the filled fractured rock mass is taken as the research object, and the immersion and air drying of different cycle numbers are considered. That is, the time t in the above formula is or .

[0071] By using nuclear magnetic resonance experiments and resonance gray image processing technology to determine the diffusion coefficient and the specific expression of the water migration equation, the water migration law is expressed by an empirical formula containing three parameters (i.e., the volumetric water content and the Boltzmann transformation parameter relationship): .

[0072] In this formula, the parameters and can both be measured by nuclear magnetic resonance observation experiments on rock samples with different immersion or air drying times. Thus, according to the experimental data, the parameters a, b, and c can be obtained by fitting. Combining the relationship: The diffusion coefficient expression with the volumetric water content as the independent variable can be established: According to the above research idea, the diffusion coefficient of water migration in the filled fractured rock mass and the specific expression of the migration control equation can be determined.

[0073] To study the influence of clay-filled media, mechanical experiments will be carried out on the filled fractured rock samples under three basic loading conditions (indirect tension, uniaxial compression, and triaxial compression) in this test. When using the MTS 816 rock mechanics test system to carry out the Brazilian splitting test on the filled fractured disk specimens with different water contents and different fracture characteristics, in addition to monitoring basic mechanical information such as load-displacement and stress-strain, an acoustic emission (AE) system is also used to monitor acoustic emission signals, and a high-speed camera and a high-speed microscopic monitoring system for the rock fracture process are used to observe and record the crack propagation process.

[0074] Then, a multi-field and multi-phase rock triaxial test system is used to carry out uniaxial and triaxial experiments on cylindrical specimens with different water contents and different characteristic fractures. During the experiment, in addition to monitoring basic mechanical information such as load-displacement and stress-strain, an acoustic emission (AE) system is also used to monitor acoustic emission signals and record the crack propagation process. Since in the triaxial compression experiment, the specimen is wrapped with a rubber sleeve and placed in a pressure chamber, the acoustic emission probe needs to be arranged on the outer walls of the upper and lower loading heads and the loading cylinder to monitor the acoustic emission signals during the rock fracture process. In the triaxial compression experiment, the confining pressure σ3 is selected according to the in-situ stress of typical rock engineering. The schematic diagram of rock fracture under the influence of water is as Figure 8 shown.

[0075] Taking the immersion time Saturation and air-drying time is a variable (during the immersion and air-drying processes, the moisture content of the specimen may be the same but the moisture distribution is different, and the immersion and air-drying times are distinguished by "+" and "-"), which characterizes the changes in the water content and spatial distribution in the rock mass caused by moisture migration. The fracture is characterized by the dip angle β and the length 2a. Organize the experimental data and calculate the macroscopic mechanical property indexes of the fractured rock samples filled with clay under different loading conditions, including the tensile strength T in the Brazilian splitting test, the elastic modulus E and the strength σ in the uniaxial compression test UCS , and the compressive strength σ in the triaxial compression test TCS . Study the variation of the above mechanical property indexes with the water content state and the fracture characteristic characterization indexes, and clarify the degradation law of the mechanical properties of fractured rocks under the influence of moisture migration, that is:

[0076] In the case of the Brazilian splitting test In the case of the uniaxial compression test In the case of the triaxial compression test Among them is the confining pressure.
