Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rock mechanics testing technology, and in particular to a bidirectional loading rock mechanics testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Fissures in underground rock masses are primarily formed naturally or caused by external forces. Furthermore, due to the complexity of geological structures, the direction of force on these fissures is uncertain. Therefore, uniaxial compression tests often cannot fully reflect the true stress conditions of underground rock, and the effects of lateral forces must also be considered. This uncertainty in the direction of force on underground rock masses poses a significant challenge to the safety of underground construction operations.
[0003] There have been many achievements in the study of “the impact of bidirectional loading on the failure of fractured rock masses”, such as the use of rock triaxial apparatus. However, the purchase cost of this instrument or similar equipment is expensive, which limits the study of the impact of bidirectional loading on rock mass failure.

This utility model provides a bidirectional loading rock mechanics test device, which is not only simple and easy to operate, but also provides strong experimental data for the failure analysis of fractured rock masses under lateral pressure.
