Abstract: The Cretaceous Zhidan group (K1zh) pore fissure-confined water aquifer in Yingpanhao Coal Mine, Ordos City, China, has loose stratum structure, high porosity, strong permeability and water conductivity. In order to explore the fluid–solid coupling similar material and its constitutive model suitable for the aquifer, a kind of fluid–solid coupling similar material with low strength, strong permeability and no disintegration in water was developed by using 5~20 mm stone as aggregate and P.O32.5 Portland cement as binder. The controllable range of uniaxial compressive strength is 0.394~0.528 MPa, and the controllable range of elastic modulus is 342.22~400.24 MPa. The stress–strain curve and elastic modulus of similar materials are analyzed. It is found that the elastic modulus of similar materials with different water–cement ratios conforms to the linear law, the elastic modulus of similar materials with the same water–cement ratio after soaking treatment and without soaking treatment also conforms to the linear law. Based on the material failure obeying the maximum principal stress criterion and Weibull distribution, combined with the elastic modulus fitting formula, a constitutive model suitable for the fluid–solid coupling similar material was established, and the parameters of the constitutive model were determined by differential method. By comparing the theoretical stress–strain curve with the experimental curve, it is found that the constitutive model can better describe and characterize the fluid–solid coupling similar materials with different water–cement ratios and before and after soaking.
