Confining Pressures

Studying the dynamic performance of rocks affected by high temperatures is a crucial theoretical foundation of mining engineering design and the construction of deep metallic mineral resources. More importantly, such studies can provide technical support for the green and low-carbon mining of these resources. However, systematic studies on the dynamic mechanical properties of rocks affected by both confining pressure and temperature during the mining of deep metallic mineral resources are lacking. Therefore, systematic research was conducted on the dynamic mechanical properties of limestone under confining pressure after high-temperature treatment, and a corresponding constitutive model was established. In this study, limestones were heated to 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C, and 800 °C, and the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar impact test was conducted with confining pressures of 0.0 MPa, 0.5 MPa, 1.5 MPa, and 2.5 MPa. The test results show that the temperature has a significant effect on the dynamic compressive strength of limestone, and as the temperature rises, the strength tends to first increase and then decrease, reaching the turning point at a temperature of 400 °C. The dynamic compressive strength increases as the confining pressure increases. The constitutive equation of the dynamic damage to limestone under confining pressure after high-temperature treatment is consistent with the test results. Therefore, the established constitutive model can represent the dynamic behavior of limestone, providing a reference for evaluating the dynamic performance of this material, and serving as a theoretical basis for the green and low-carbon mining of deep metallic mineral resources.

Abstract This paper presents results of a series of undrained monotonic compression tests on loose sand reinforced with geotextile mainly to study the effect of confining stress on the mechanical behaviour of geotextile reinforced sand. The triaxial tests were performed on reconstituted specimens of dry natural sand prepared at loose relative density (Dr = 30%) with and without geotextile layers and consolidated to three levels of confining pressures 50, 100 and 200 kPa, where different numbers and different arrangements of reinforcement layers were placed at different heights of the specimens (0, 1 and 2 layers). The behaviour of test specimens was presented and discussed. Test results showed that geotextile inclusion improves the mechanical behaviour of sand, a significant increase in the shear strength and cohesion value is obtained by adding up layers of reinforcement. Also, the results indicate that the strength ratio is more pronounced for samples which were subjected to low value of confining pressure. The obtained results reveal that high value of confining pressure can restrict the sand shear dilatancy and the more effect of reinforcement efficiently.

In this study, to explore the microstructure deformation mechanism of marine soft marine soil under cyclic loading, we analyzed the dynamic properties of soft marine soil under cyclic loading via dynamic consolidation compression testing. Then, using Image-Pro Plus (IPP) 6.0 image analysis software, and according to the dynamic consolidation compression test results and the images from a scanning electron microscope (SEM), we determined the weakening effect of soft soils under different consolidation confining pressures, different cyclic stress ratios, and different over-consolidation ratios. After dynamic consolidation and compression, the pore structure of undisturbed soft marine soil tends to compact, the degree of soil particle fragmentation intensifies, small pores increase, large pores decrease, the pores become more regular, and the distribution of pores is directional. Subsequently, for undisturbed soft marine soil, the higher the consolidated confining pressure, cyclic dynamic stress ratio, and over-consolidation ratio, the greater the damage to the pore structure, and the more obvious the structural weakening effect exhibited under cyclic loading.

The permeability of intact marble samples collected from the depth of 1.6 km in southwestern China is investigated under moderate confining pressures and temperatures. No microcracks initiate or propagate during the tests, and the variation of permeability is due to the change of aperture of microcracks. Test results show a considerable decrease of permeability along with confining pressure increase from 10 to 30 MPa and temperature increase from 15 to 40°C. The thermal effect on the permeability is notable in comparison with the influence of the stress. A simple permeability evolution law is developed to correlate the permeability and the porosity in the compressive regime based on the microphysical geometric linkage model. Using this law, the permeability in the compressive regime for crystalline rock can be predicted from the volumetric strain curve of mechanical tests.

Triaxial shear tests are performed to assess the effects of displacement velocity and confining pressure on shear strengths and dilations of tension-induced fractures and smooth saw-cut surfaces prepared in granite, sandstone and marl specimens. A polyaxial load frame is used to apply confining pressures between 1 and 18 MPa with displacement velocities ranging from 1.15×10-5 to 1.15×10-2 mm/s. The results indicate that the shearing resistances of smooth saw-cut surfaces tend to be independent of the displacement velocity and confining pressure. Under each confinement the peak and residual shear strengths and dilation rates of rough fractures increase with displacement velocities. The sheared-off areas increase when the confining pressure increases, and the displacement rate decreases. The velocity-dependent shear strengths tend to act more under high confining pressures for the rough fractures in strong rock (granite) than for the smoother fractures in weaker rocks (sandstone and marl). An empirical criterion that explicitly incorporates the effects of shear velocity is proposed to describe the peak and residual shear strengths. The criterion fits well to the test results for the three tested rocks.

The effects of the consolidation ratio, effective confining pressure, gravel content, and granule breakage on the shear modulus and damping ratio of gravel have been extensively researched in recent years. However, studies on the effect of the granular shape are rare. Thus, under different confining pressures, dynamic triaxial tests were performed on gravel specimens to investigate the effect of granular shape on the shear modulus and damping ratio of gravel specimens by using a multifunctional triaxial testing instrument. The samples consisted of two kinds of gravel with the same grain composition and relative density of 45%. The test results indicate that, when the confining pressure and shear strain amplitude exceed 300 kPa and 7×10-4, respectively, gravel with a round granular shape has a higher shear modulus compared to an angular shape. Conversely, when the shear strain amplitude exceeds 2×10-4, the damping ratio of angular gravel exceeds that of round granules.

Triaxial Drained Test

For the lack of accurate test results in design and maintenance of desert-crossing highways in the Tengger Desert of western China, the GDS true-triaxial system was used to conduct the drained test on dense sand. Under the condition of different intermediate principal stress ratio b-value, the results showed that the stress-strain relationships in three orthogonal directions had significant differences, presenting significant anisotropy. The peak of the generalized shear stress increased with the increase of b-value. Except under the condition of b = 0, the specimen contracted firstly and then dilated, while the others dilated. The results of the different confining pressures showed that the stress-strain relationships appeared as a hardening type at low confining pressures, and as the confining pressure increased, the stress-strain relationships exhibit hardening, peaking, softening, and stable deformation characteristics. At low confining pressure, the contractive behaviors were not obvious, mainly as dilatancy, and as the confining pressure increased, the dilatancy increased gradually. The specimen transformed contract to dilatancy, and when the confining pressure reached 800 kPa, the specimen exhibited contractive behavior. The test results will provide data for subgrade design and construction in desert area.

The potential of non-metallic mineral resources in South Aceh is very diverse, such as one of the granite rocks located in Lhok Pawoh village, Sawang subdistrict. Granite rocks have a distinctive characteristic based on its constituent minerals. The purpose of this research is to obtain information about the constituent minerals in the granite rocks of Lhok Pawoh village. The research method uses X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) technique, then the observation of surface morphology is done by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The XRF test results show that there are 14 phases of mineral identified as the constituent mineral phase, where the very dominant SiO2 mineral reaches 67.9%, then the mineral phase of Al2O3 by 15%, and the third Fe2O3 of 6.03%, and is followed by the other minor phase of minerals. As for the results of the morphological observation, the dominant element appears in several factors, namely Si, O, and Al. From the two testing and analysis methods can be concluded that the granite stone of the village Lhok Pawoh is dominated by silica elements, which can visually be seen in white.Copyright © 2018 Politeknik Aceh Selatan.
