Investigation of Rock Failure Pattern in Creep by Digital Speckle Correlation Method

الملخص EN

In order to study the mechanical characteristics from creep deformation to failure of rock, the tests of uniaxial compression and pushing steel-plate anchored in rock were performed, by using RLJW-2000 servo test synchronizing with Digital Speckle Correlation Method (DSCM).

The investigations showed that for a uniaxial compressive specimen, when load arrived at 0.5σc, displacement clusters orderly formed, which was ahead of the macrocreep strain occurring in a slight jump mode when load arrived at 0.7σc.

When the load level arrived at 0.8σc, displacement clusters gathered to be a narrow band.

After that, the specimen abruptly fractured in a shear mode.

In the creep pushing steel-plate test, when pushing force arrived at 25 kN, crack began to occur, the horizontal displacement field as well as shear strain field concentrated continuously along the interface between steel-plate and rock, and a new narrow concentrating band gathered in the upper layer.

When pushing force arrived at 27.5 kN, another new narrow shear deformation band formed in the lower layer.

Then, the steel-plate was pushed out quickly accompanying strong creep deformation.
