Abstract:

The study of damage characteristics of rock mass is of great significance to the analysis of rock mass structure. According to the characteristics of the microscopic unit strength of rock with random distribution, the Weibull distribution is widely used as the statistical functions of the strength of the microunit of rock to establish the damage constitutive model. The concepts of damage ratio and damage index are proposed. Damage ratio is mainly used to describe the law of damage evolution in rock. Damage index can be used to evaluate the damage degree of rock. The influence of confining pressure on distribution parameters and damage ratio is analyzed through uniaxial and triaxial compression tests of sandstone. The results show that damage ratio is an index of structural characteristics of rock damage, which can reflect the evolution characteristics of microcracks in rock under spatial stress. Critical damage ratio refers to the damage ratio corresponding to the peak stress of rock and can be used as a parameter to characterize the strength of rock for corresponding to the peak strain one to one. The critical damage ratio is linearly related to the logarithmic function of confining pressure. Its relationship is as follows: . With the increase of , the increasing trend of slows down and gradually tends to a certain value. The larger the damage index is, the more serious the damage of rock is. The smaller the damage index is, the less serious the damage of rock is. Therefore, the damage index can be used to evaluate the damage degree of rock. It will be an important direction of rock damage mechanics research to distinguish the severity of rock damage by using damage index as the limit value.
