Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rock mechanics, and in particular to a comprehensive testing method for rapidly acquiring in-situ structural surface features and their impact on rock mechanical properties. Background Technology
[0002] The three-dimensional morphological features of macroscopic undulations and micro-convexities of structural surfaces directly affect the mechanical properties of rocks. In engineering practice, obtaining high-precision three-dimensional morphological features of structural surfaces and performing quantitative characterization, while quantitatively correlating them with rock mechanical properties, is crucial for predicting rock mass engineering behavior, assessing rock mass stability, designing support schemes, and preventing geological disasters. Currently, the most commonly used three-dimensional morphological feature characterization is the structural surface roughness parameter. Methods for measuring the three-dimensional roughness of rock mass structural surfaces include stylus profilometry, white light interferometric profilometry, 3D laser scanners, and digital image processing techniques. Portable 3D laser scanners, with their advantages of rapid non-contact acquisition of 3D point clouds and high anti-interference capabilities, are suitable for complex in-situ information acquisition. Currently, the process generally involves the following steps: acquiring the morphological data of rock structural surfaces; preprocessing the 3D point cloud data; performing mesh thinning on the point cloud data; performing regular sorting on the coordinate data; calculating the JRC values of all structural surface contour lines in the point cloud data; and plotting a histogram of the frequency distribution of JRC values.
[0003] Existing solutions involve mesh thinning of point cloud data. However, the deletion and reconstruction of point cloud data inherently present accuracy control issues, and key data features, especially in areas of rapid change, may be missing. Furthermore, the reconstructed point cloud may deviate from the original data. Additionally, existing solutions calculate roughness based on statistical analysis of multiple contour lines (JRCs). This involves first calculating the roughness information of a single contour line and then statistically deriving the complete 3D structural surface information. This process is relatively complex and based on discrete data statistics, failing to fully describe the data's distribution characteristics. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a comprehensive testing method for rapidly acquiring in-situ structural surface features and their impact on rock mechanical properties. This method enables rapid and high-precision acquisition of three-dimensional features of in-situ structural surfaces and allows for quantitative analysis of the relationship between in-situ structural surface features and rock mechanical properties.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A comprehensive testing method for rapidly acquiring in-situ structural surface features and their impact on rock mechanical properties includes the following steps:
[0007] S1. Obtain the three-dimensional morphological features of the in-situ structural surface in the study area, and store the three-dimensional morphological features as three-dimensional point cloud data;
[0008] S2. Perform reference plane correction on the three-dimensional point cloud data to obtain point cloud coordinates;
[0009] S3. The Sq parameter is used as the roughness characterization parameter of the three-dimensional topography feature, and the Sq parameter is combined with the point cloud coordinates to calculate the Sq characterization parameter, so as to obtain the in-situ structural surface feature.
[0010] S4. Take samples in the study area and conduct mechanical tests on the samples to obtain damaged samples after mechanical testing. Use the damaged surface of the damaged sample as the study area, and perform steps S1-S3 on the damaged surface of each damaged sample to obtain the in-situ structural surface features of the damaged sample.
[0011] S5. Based on the in-situ structural surface characteristics of the damaged specimen and the corresponding mechanical test, analyze the correlation between the in-situ structural surface characteristics and the rock mechanical properties.
[0012] Further, in step S1, the study area is scanned by a three-dimensional laser scanner to obtain the three-dimensional topographic features, and the three-dimensional topographic features are stored as a three-dimensional point cloud data file in STL format.
[0013] Further, in step S2, the three-dimensional point cloud data obtained by the three-dimensional laser scanner is processed to remove the three-dimensional point cloud data located outside the study area.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S2, the three-dimensional point cloud data is fitted with a plane using the least squares method to obtain a corrected reference plane.
[0015] Further, in step S2, the reference plane is exported as a reference plane file, which is an .asc format file with point cloud coordinate information.
[0016] Further, in step S3, the point cloud coordinates in the reference plane file and the Sq parameter are used to calculate the Sq characterization parameter using Matlab software.
[0017] Furthermore, the method for calculating the Sq characterization parameter is as follows:

[0019] in, Sq represents the parameter; The projected area of the point cloud data of the in-situ structural surface; The height is perpendicular to the reference plane, and the height of the reference plane is a horizontal coordinate. and vertical coordinates The function; The horizontal coordinates of the point cloud; The vertical coordinates of the point cloud coordinates.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0021] A portable handheld 3D laser scanner was used to scan the in-situ structural surfaces in the study area, thereby acquiring point cloud information. The point cloud data used for calculating the Sq characterization parameters was the full data after coordinate calibration of the study area, and the calculation was performed automatically using software written in MATLAB, achieving rapid and high-precision acquisition of the 3D features of the in-situ structural surfaces. By combining the quantitative calculation of the Sq characterization parameters with the rock mechanical property parameters measured by indoor experiments, a quantitative analysis of the relationship between the in-situ structural surface features and the rock mechanical properties was achieved. The point cloud data information of this invention is a non-destructive 3D structural surface morphology feature characterization parameter, which improves the accuracy of quantitative characterization; moreover, the 3D structural surface morphology feature characterization parameters of this invention are directly calculated based on the full amount of point cloud data, which is more efficient and more accurate.
