- Abstract
After engineering excavation, high axial stress makes hard rock to also have significant rheological behaviors that can lead to long-term instability. In order to study the long-term mechanical characteristics of hard rock after deep engineering excavation, field monitoring test and laboratory test are conducted. The results show that the initial fracture of rock mass in the area with rockburst is significantly higher than that in the area without rockburst. After a long time action of high ground stress, the internal fracture of rock mass with low initial fracture degree is not developed. In the rock mass with many initial fractures, the number and degree of internal fractures increase significantly after long time action of high ground stress, which eventually leads to the cracking of the lining of the nearby side wall. Through the true triaxial pre-peak and post-peak creep tests, the fracture process of rock under the condition of small and high initial fracture degree is simulated respectively. In the pre-peak stage (no final instability failure of the rock), the cumulative acoustic emission (AE) count rate of granite is coordinated with the deformation. There are significant acoustic emission quiet period and sudden increase of precursory information before instability failure. In addition, the creep failure of granite in the pre-peak stage is mainly dominated by tensile crack. In the post-peak stage, the cumulative AE count rate of granite is inconsistent with the deformation. Due to the formation of local macro-failure surface, the time-dependent fracture of granite is dominated by shear crack.
