- Abstract
Because true triaxial compression testing is generally more complicated, time-consuming, and expensive than conventional triaxial compression testing, further research is needed to reduce the cost and time of true triaxial compression tests. In this study, the true triaxial apparatus developed by Northeastern University is used, which can change the principal stress in one direction independently. Multi-stage true triaxial compression tests are carried out on Jinping marble, and the effectiveness of the new test method is evaluated. The strength parameters obtained from the multi-stage tests and single-stage tests are compared. It is suggested that constant slope unloading should be carried out before the peak strength to ensure reliable and effective experimental results. The multi-stage true triaxial compression test exhibits good repeatability and can obtain reliable strength parameters in a short time for reference in engineering practice. Under different multi-stage loading conditions, Jinping marble presents different strength, deformation and failure characteristics, and the macrofailure mechanical properties of a specimen are affected by the propagation of microcracks within that specimen.
