Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics, and in particular to a method for rapid evaluation of the shear strength of rock structural surfaces under normal disturbance. Background Technology
[0002] In geotechnical engineering, such as slopes, tunnels, and underground caverns, the shear strength of rock mass structural planes is a key factor affecting the stability of the project. Controlled by structural planes, rock masses often exhibit complex mechanical behavior. Especially when subjected to normal disturbance loads caused by blasting, mechanical vibration, or nearby engineering activities, the shear strength of the structural planes often deteriorates significantly, seriously threatening the safety of the project.
[0003] Currently, the determination of the shear strength of rock structural surfaces mainly relies on indoor and outdoor direct shear tests and empirical estimation methods based on Barton's criteria. However, outdoor direct shear tests are time-consuming, costly, and difficult to effectively simulate dynamic loading conditions such as normal disturbances. Although Barton's JRC-JCS model is widely used, it is mainly applicable to static loading conditions and does not fully consider the cumulative effects of normal cyclic loading and unloading or other dynamic disturbances on the mechanical behavior of structural surfaces, resulting in significant errors in evaluating the strength of structural surfaces after disturbances.
[0004] Traditional direct shear tests are typically conducted under constant normal stress, failing to reflect the structural surface morphology damage and cumulative deterioration of mechanical properties caused by repeated fluctuations in normal stress in actual engineering projects. Furthermore, existing research on the influence of shear rate on shear strength largely focuses on constant normal load conditions, neglecting the coupling effect between disturbance and shear. Currently used empirical formulas (such as Barton's formula) do not have constant parameters (e.g., JRC) before and after disturbance; existing models struggle to quantitatively describe the changes in these parameters, leading to insufficient reliability of prediction results. To obtain the peak strength of the structural surface after disturbance, multiple specimens with similar morphologies are usually prepared and tested under different conditions, resulting in a large workload, low efficiency, and difficulty in meeting the needs of rapid on-site assessment in engineering projects.
[0005] Although existing studies have indicated that dynamic loading can reduce the shear strength of rock structural surfaces, quantitative research on the influence of disturbance frequency and amplitude on shear strength remains relatively lacking. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish a new method that comprehensively considers the effects of normal disturbance and shear rate, enabling rapid and accurate evaluation of the shear strength of rock structural surfaces after disturbance. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a method for rapidly evaluating the shear strength of rock structural surfaces under normal disturbance. By introducing the parameter of "normal disturbance stress", an empirical calculation formula is established that can quickly predict the shear strength after disturbance, providing key parameters for engineering design and stability analysis.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A rapid evaluation method for the shear strength of rock structural planes under normal disturbance includes:
[0009] S1. Sample preparation and initial parameter acquisition: Prepare standard samples containing rock structural surfaces, scan the surface morphology of the structural surfaces and calculate the initial roughness coefficient, and test the uniaxial compressive strength and basic friction angle of the rock through rock mechanics tests;
[0010] S2. Normal Disturbance Direct Shear Test: A standard specimen is installed in a rock direct shear test system capable of applying normal cyclic loads. An initial normal stress is applied first, and then a normal cyclic disturbance stress with a set amplitude and frequency is superimposed on the initial normal stress. The direct shear test is carried out at a fixed shear rate until the specimen fails in shear, and the peak shear strength is recorded. The values of the initial normal stress, disturbance stress amplitude, disturbance frequency, and shear rate are changed, and the above test is repeated to obtain multiple sets of test data.
[0011] S3. Experimental data fitting and empirical model establishment: The peak shear strength in multiple sets of experimental data is normalized. Based on Barton strength theory, a modified shear strength empirical model containing the shear rate function is obtained through multi-parameter data fitting.
[0012] S4. Rapid evaluation of shear strength: Substitute the experimental data into the modified empirical shear strength model, and verify the accuracy of the model by comparing the peak shear strength predicted by the model with the actual peak shear strength measured by the experiment; for rock structural surfaces in actual engineering, obtain their initial roughness coefficient, uniaxial compressive strength and basic friction angle, and determine the corresponding initial normal stress, disturbance stress amplitude, disturbance frequency and shear rate in combination with the engineering environment, and substitute them into the verified modified empirical shear strength model to calculate the peak shear strength of the structural surface after normal disturbance.
[0013] In this specification, the morphology of the rock structural surface described in step S1 is determined by simulating the characteristics of the rock structural surface in the actual engineering site, or is prefabricated according to common structural surface types in engineering.
[0014] In this specification, the normal cyclic disturbance stress described in step S2 exhibits periodic fluctuations, and the fluctuation pattern is consistent with the stress change pattern generated by disturbances such as blasting and mechanical vibration in actual engineering.
[0015] In this specification, the purpose of the normalization process described in step S3 is to eliminate the interference of the effective values related to normal load, effective values related to normal dynamic load, and effective values related to dynamic load frequency on the peak shear strength, so that the processed data focuses only on the correlation between shear rate and peak shear strength.
[0016] In this specification, the shear rate function described in step S3 can couple the combined effects of initial normal stress, disturbance stress amplitude, disturbance frequency and shear rate, and quantify the synergistic effect of each factor on the shear strength of the rock structural surface.
[0017] In this specification, when establishing the modified empirical model for shear strength in step S3, the shear rate function can be simplified to a form that is only related to the single factor and the shear rate for a single factor among the initial normal stress, disturbance stress amplitude, and disturbance frequency, thereby obtaining a simplified calculation model for shear strength under the influence of the corresponding single factor.
[0018] In this manual, the core basis for verifying the model accuracy in step S4 is that the deviation between the peak shear strength predicted by the model and the actual peak shear strength measured by the experiment is within a preset reasonable range, ensuring the reliability of the model for actual engineering evaluation.
[0019] In this specification, in step S1, the surface morphology of the structural surface is scanned by a three-dimensional laser scanner, and the initial roughness coefficient is calculated based on the morphology data obtained from the scan; the rock mechanics test is a uniaxial compressive strength test and a basic friction angle test that conform to the geotechnical engineering testing standards.
[0020] In this specification, the engineering environment described in step S4 includes the types and intensity levels of activities that may generate normal disturbances, such as blasting operations, mechanical vibrations, and construction of adjacent projects in the area where the project is located.
[0021] In this specification, the loading process of the direct shear test in step S2 is as follows: first, apply an initial normal stress and keep it stable, then superimpose normal cyclic disturbance stress until the fluctuation stabilizes, and then start shear loading at a fixed shear rate until the specimen fails under shear.
[0022] In summary, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0023] It innovatively introduces the concept of "normal perturbation stress": the perturbation amplitude... s a ,frequency f and shear rate v The influence is coupled to a synthetic function f ( v In this study, the intensity of the normal disturbance load was scientifically quantified.
[0024] A quantitative normal disturbance degradation model was established: In the shear strength formula, a modified shear strength model was established to characterize the normal disturbance, such as the law of shear strength attenuation with the increase of shear rate, such as the amplitude and frequency. The physical meaning is clear and can accurately reflect the structural surface wear and strength degradation caused by the normal disturbance and the change of shear rate.
[0025] Fast and efficient: Only a limited number of indoor direct shear tests are needed to establish the model and the function relating it to multiple influencing factors. This allows for the rapid prediction of structural surface strength under a large number of different disturbance conditions by establishing a modified shear strength formula, eliminating the need for complex direct shear tests one by one, thus greatly improving efficiency and reducing test costs.
[0026] Highly practical: The method of this invention is closely integrated with engineering practice, takes into account real normal disturbance conditions, and the prediction results are closer to the actual engineering situation, providing a more reliable theoretical basis for the stability analysis and design of rock mass engineering under disturbance environment.

[0048] In this specification, the loading process of the direct shear test in step S2 is as follows: first, apply an initial normal stress and keep it stable, then superimpose normal cyclic disturbance stress until the fluctuation stabilizes, and then start shear loading at a fixed shear rate until the specimen fails under shear.
[0049] The technical concept of this invention is as follows:

[0051] Standard specimens of rock structural surfaces were prepared, with a specimen size of 100 mm × 100 mm. The surface morphology of the structural surfaces was acquired using a 3D laser scanner, and its initial roughness coefficient JRC was calculated.

Based on the strength formula (1) of Barton and Choubey (1977):
[0057] (1)
[0058] In the formula: t This represents the peak shear strength. s n is the normal stress; JRC is the surface roughness coefficient; JCS is the strength of the surface rock, and for unweathered surface rock, JCS is taken as the uniaxial compressive strength value; f b This is the basic friction angle.
[0059] Based on experimental data, a method is proposed that considers the amplitude of disturbance stress. s a ,frequency f and shear rate v The corrected shear strength formula for the effect:

[0081] In one specific embodiment:
[0082] Taking the sawtooth-shaped structural surface in a sandstone slope project as an example, the shear strength after normal disturbance is evaluated using the method of this invention.
[0083] Step S1: Sample preparation and initial parameter acquisition
[0084] Complete sandstone blocks were obtained from the site and processed into standard direct shear specimens measuring 100mm × 100mm × 50mm (including the structural surface) in the laboratory. Regular serrated structural surfaces with a pre-fabricated serration angle of 15° were created. The structural surfaces were scanned using a 3D laser scanner, and the initial roughness coefficient JRC = 22.5° was calculated. The uniaxial compressive strength of the sandstone was measured through rock mechanics tests. s c =20.3MPa, basic friction angle f b =15.6°.
[0085] Step S2: Normal Disturbance Direct Shear Test
[0086] Nine sets of tests were designed under different working conditions, with six different shear rates designed for each set. Specific parameters are shown in the table below. The prepared specimens were installed in a rock direct shear test system capable of applying normal cyclic loading; first, initial normal stress was applied. s n Then, based on the initial normal stress, an amplitude of Δ is applied. s n , frequency is f Normal cyclic perturbation stress, fixed shear rate v Perform cyclic perturbation direct shear tests until the specimen fails under shear stress, and record the peak shear strength. t p .
[0087] Similarly, different shear rates were applied using the method described above. v A direct shear test was conducted. The test protocol is shown in Table 1.
[0088] Table 1. Test Protocol
[0089] ;
[0090] Taking working condition A2 as an example: the sample is installed in the servo-controlled direct shear apparatus, and an initial normal stress of 2 MPa is applied first. s n Then, normal cyclic loading was initiated, causing the normal stress to fluctuate sinusoidally between 1.5 MPa and 2.5 MPa at a frequency of 1 Hz to simulate mid-frequency disturbances.
[0091] After the normal cyclic perturbation begins, a direct shear test is simultaneously conducted at a constant shear rate. Shear rates of 0.3, 0.6, 3, 6, 30, and 60 mm / min are applied sequentially to specimens with the same morphology but different shapes. The shear stress-displacement curves are recorded, and the peak strength is read. t .

After obtaining... f ( v s ) s n , f ( v s ) s a and f ( v s ) f When determining the relationship between peak shear strength and shear rate, in order to eliminate... in n , in a and f ′ To mitigate the impact of the experiment, the shear strength obtained was normalized beforehand, as shown in Table 2.
[0094] Table 2. Normalized shear strength values

[0096] Nonlinear regression analysis was performed using mathematical software (such as Origin) to analyze the relationship between normalized shear strength and shear rate. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown in the image. f ( v s ) s n , f ( v s ) Fa and f ( v s ) f This can be expressed as the following formulas (12) to (14):
[0097] (12)

[0100] By fitting the model, the parameters are obtained: f ( v s ) s n , f ( v s ) Fa and f ( v s ) f The goodness of fit R of the model 2 A value above 0.959 indicates that the model closely matches the experimental data.
[0101] Therefore, the empirical shear strength calculation formula (11) applicable to this sandstone structural plane is established as follows:
[0102] (11)
[0103] Step S4: Rapid evaluation of shear strength
[0104] Assume that during the blasting process of this slope, the initial normal stress at the location of a key structural surface is... s n =2MPa, estimated normal disturbance stress amplitude Δ generated by the blast. s n =±0.5MPa, frequency f=1Hz, different shear rate conditions were set, and the test parameters were substituted into formula (11) and compared with the measured values to obtain an error ≤6.241%, which proves that the evaluation method has good accuracy. The comparison between the predicted and calculated peak shear strength values is shown in Table 3.
[0105] Therefore, this shear strength evaluation method can quickly predict the shear strength of the structural surface after this blasting disturbance. Engineers can use this result to verify slope stability and develop corresponding reinforcement or controlled blasting plans.

Rapid evaluation of shear strength: substitute the test data into the modified shear strength empirical model, verify the model accuracy by comparing the predicted peak shear strength of the model with the true peak shear strength measured by the test; for the rock structure surface in actual engineering, the initial roughness coefficient, the uniaxial compressive strength and the basic friction angle are obtained, the corresponding initial normal stress, disturbance stress amplitude, disturbance frequency and shear rate are determined combined with the engineering environment, and the modified shear strength empirical model after verification is substituted to calculate the peak shear strength of the structure surface after normal disturbance.
