Abstract

Jointed soft-hard composite rock masses are commonly encountered in engineering rock formations. The excavation-induced can lead to incompatible deformations between joints and soft-hard layers, resulting in more complex failure mechanisms compared to those under static loading. It is necessary to monitor rock micro-fracture events in real time during excavation to obtain the precursor information of rock instability. Therefore, this study conducted uniaxial compression, cyclic loading tests, and acoustic emission monitoring utilising coplanar double-jointed soft-hard composite rock masses. The fatigue characteristics of coplanar double-jointed soft-hard composite rocks were analyzed from the perspectives of strength, deformation, energy, and damage. The timing characteristics of tensile and shear signals for specimens with various joint inclinations were analyzed employing acoustic emission (AE) technology. Additionally, an early warning mechanism for rock instability based on AE multi-parameters was proposed. The results reveal that the fatigue life and limit energy storage coefficient are the lowest for the specimen with a 45° joint inclination. However, the minimum values of failure stress and failure strain occur in the specimen with a 30° inclination. During the fatigue tests, the energy density of the specimens increases in a stepwise way with the number of cycles. In addition, there is a quadratic polynomial relationship between each energy density and the upper stress limit. The realtime tensile signals of specimens exceed 60% at each stage of cyclic loading. By analyzing the variance and autocorrelation coefficient of AE parameters, it is revealed that the precursor points of failure extracted from the variance curves of peak frequency and signal intensity are closest to the final failure point.
