Abstract
This paper aims to explore a low-strength, high-brittleness material for large-scale rockburst model tests. By adjusting the water-to-gypsum ratio, a ratio of 0.8 was found to provide ideal mechanical and non-mechanical properties, making it suitable for rockburst simulation experiments. The experimental method used was uniaxial compression testing, and common monitoring methods for rockburst tests were employed, including acoustic emission (AE) monitoring, infrared radiation temperature monitoring, and digital image correlation (DIC) techniques. The test results revealed that the acoustic emission activity, infrared radiation temperature characteristics of the simulation material when nearing fracture, and the strain field patterns captured by DIC technology all correspond with the typical failure behavior of rocks. These findings confirm the comprehensive similarity between the simulation material and natural rocks, providing a cost-effective and easily producible model material for large scale rockburst tests.
期刊介绍:
Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces:
• the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations;
• the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change;
• the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses;
• the prediction of changes to the above properties with time;
• the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
