The invention discloses a method for separating
viscosity-elasticity-
plasticity characteristic parameters in a triaxial rheological test on a rock. The method comprises the following steps: making a sampled
rock body into a standard cylindrical
test sample, firstly applying a static
water pressure state to the cylindrical
test sample to load initial confining pressure of the
test sample to reach a rheological test designed value sigma 3, keeping the confining pressure unchanged, performing the triaxial rheological test on the rock in a multistage increment circulated loading and unloading mode till the test sample is damaged, recording deformation characteristics, including an instant strain value epsilon 1, a loading stable strain value epsilon 2, an unloading instant strain value epsilon 3 and an unloading
rheology stable value epsilon 4, of the test sample in each stage of axial deviatoric
stress level, and identifying according to an elastic-plastic theory to obtain the instant elasticity strain valve epsilon me, the instant
plasticity strain value epsilon mp, the
viscoelasticity strain value epsilon ce and the
viscoplasticity strain value epsilon cp of the test sample. By the
viscosity-elasticity-
plasticity parameter
separation method, the
viscosity-elasticity-plasticity rheological characteristics of the rock under different deviatoric stress levels can be identified, and corresponding technical measures are provided for reinforcement of surrounding rock bodies under high ground
stress conditions in deep underground
engineering.
