ABSTRACT: The deformation and fracture of rock mass in deep rock mass engineering are affected by the coupling of temperature, seepage, and stress. A test and a calculation model for sandstone under thermal–hydrological–mechanical (THM) coupling were proposed to reveal the mechanical properties of sandstone. The law of coupling for mechanical indicators of sandstone was established by laboratory tests and numerical simulations. The permeability, peak strength, peak strain, residual strength, elastic modulus, plastic deformation area, and stress–strain cloud diagram were analyzed by the steady state seepage method and THM coupling principle, and the accuracy of the model was verified. Results demonstrate that: (1) As the temperature rises and the peak deformation increases, the sample slowly drops to the residual strength level after the peak stress. (2) The main factor that affects peak strength is confining pressure. In the temperature range of 25 °C–50 °C, the maximum peak strength and peak deformation are increased by heating, and the increases in confining pressure and temperature reduce the reduction coefficient of the residual strength. Moreover, the elastic modulus increases with the increase in confining pressure, but it shows a downward trend when the temperature increases. (3) The plastic deformation zone and stress–strain cloud diagram indicated that when the temperature and osmotic pressure increase, the specimen enters the plastic zone earlier, the effective plastic zone increases, the stress increases, and the deformation is intensified. The proposed method provides a certain reference for the permeability and stability evaluation of rock mass under the conditions of “three-high” (high confining pressure, high hydraulic pressure, and high stress) engineering. Keywords: temperature–seepage–stress coupling, sandstone, mechanical properties

In order to study the relationship between the design parameters of the shield machine and the strength of rock, the behaviours of rocks under the conventional triaxial compression, the complete stress-strain curves under different confining pressures of three typical rocks, i.e. granite, limestone and red sandstone, were taken out for analysis. From the curves, the values of elastic modulus E and Poisson's ratio μ were gained and the relationships between the following parameters were figured out, which are peak strength versus confining pressure, residual strength versus confining pressure, strain at peak strength versus confining pressure, and strain at residual strength versus confining pressure. According to the values and relationships, the complete stress-strain curves were divided into three parts. For each part, a constitutive equation was established by using the strain softening trilinear elastic-brittle-plastic constitutive model, and all the related parameters in the constitutive equations were also presented, which provide a theoretical foundation for the digital design of the cutter head and cutters of Shield machine.

For geotechnical engineering, it has great significance to research the mechanical characteristics of rock mass under three dimensional stresses. Through triaxial compression failure test, the characteristics of stress-strain curve and deformation of red sandstone from Sichuan under different confining pressures has been analyzed. The results show that: with the increment of confining pressure, the failure mode of rock mass changes from brittle failure to ductile failure gradually, and an obvious yield platform appears near the peak strength of stress-strain curve; the elastic modulus, deformation modulus, peak strain and residual strain of rock sample increase with the increment of confining pressure, the elastic modulus and deformation modulus are not a fixed value, and the relation between deformation parameter and confining pressure can be fit through quadratic curve.

Understanding the deformation failure behavior of the composite rock strata has important implications for deep underground engineering construction. Based on the uniaxial compression laboratory test of the specimens of composite rock strata containing holes, the microscopic parameters in the particle discrete element simulation are firstly calibrated. Then, the mechanical properties and failure characteristics of the composite rock strata with holes under different confining pressures are studied. The results show that different dip angles and confining pressures have significant effects on the peak strength and elastic modulus of the specimens. Under the same confining pressure, the peak strength and elastic modulus decrease first and then increase with the increasing dip angle. As the dip angle is constant, both the peak strength and elastic modulus gradually increase with the increase in confining pressure. It shows that the first area to be damaged in composite rock strata transfers from soft rock to hard rock with the increase in dip angle. With the increase in confining pressure, the range of tensile stress concentration area decreases substantially, while the range of compressive stress concentration area changes less.

In this work, Al-Mg-Mn-Si alloy (5483) in the as-received and severe plastically deformed states was used. Plastic deformation was carried out by hydrostatic extrusion, and three different true strain values were applied 1.4, 2.8 and 3.8. All specimens were subjected to tensile tests and microhardness measurements. The investigated material revealed an instability during plastic deformation in the form of serration on the stress-strain curves, the so called Portevin-Le Chatelier effect It was shown that grain size reduction effected the character of the instability.

A conventional triaxial compression test of Jurassic-Cretaceous typical weakly consolidated sandstone from a mining area in Ordos, China, was conducted using an MTS816 tester. Results showed that, before the peak, the rock had a distinct yield stage. When the specimen reached its peak strength, the strength decreased rapidly and showed an obvious brittle failure. When the confining pressure was increased to 15 MPa, the decrease of strength was slow and the rock tended toward ductile failure. With the increase of confining pressure, the cyclic strain initially increased slightly, whereas the volumetric strain increased greatly and the rock sample was in a compression state. When the load reached a critical value, the curve was reversely bent, resulting in volume expansion, whereas the peak strength, residual strength, and elastic modulus increased with confining pressure, and Poisson’s ratio decreased with the confining pressure. In the model based on macroscopic failure rock, the expression of the relationship between fracture angle and confining pressure provided a solid theoretical basis for the direction and failure mode of the macroscopic crack. Based on the rock strength theory and Weibull random distribution assumption of rock element strength, the damage variable correction coefficient was introduced when the residual strength was considered. Then, the mathematical expression of the 3D damage statistical constitutive model was established. Finally, the theoretical curve of the established constitutive model was compared with the triaxial test curve, which showed a high degree of coincidence.

The influence of working pressure on microstructure and mechanical properties of magnetron sputtered ZrN coatings were systemically investigated. The results reveal that a decreased working pressure results in preferred orientation evolution from (111) to (200) and cross-sectional morphologies transition from columnar structure to equiaxed grains. These microstructural changes are considered responsible for an increase in hardness and modulus with decreasing working pressure. Chip spallation and plastic deformation failure modes are observed during scratch testing, and the increased critical loads are attributed to higher hardness and elastic modulus, as well as moderate compressive stress at lower working pressure.

In order to offer theory base for the widely use of Roadbood EN-1 soil firming agent in road base, triaxial shearing tests are performed on road base consolidated with Roadbood EN-1 soil firming agent, cement and lime to analyze its mechanical properties. Stress-straining curve, peak strength, remnant strength, elastic modulus and shearing strength of road base consolidated with Roadbood EN-1 soil firming agent, cement and lime under different ambient pressures are measured through triaxial shearing test. The conclusions are peak strength, remnant strength and peak straining have straight line relationship with ambient pressure. Its destruction procedure can be explained with impairment. The stress-strain relation curve also indicated that Duncan-Chang Model could not be applied to road base consolidated with Roadbood EN-1 soil firming agent, cement and lime, while the modified Saenz Formula could be used to describe the stress-strain relation of it,and good agreement was obtained.

Principal influencing factors of the strength of rock mass with weak joints were studied in this paper. Dip angles of weak joints in addition with the confining pressure is studied based on strain-softening/hardening plasticity model. The broken mechanism from the perspective of plastic zone was analyzed. The strength of rock mass with weak joints is mainly under control of the joints occurrence, the joints dip and the rock strength, and great influenced by the confining pressure. A higher strength is obtained with a higher confining pressure, the broken mechanisms varies with different joints dips.

In this paper, to study mechanical properties of manufactured-sand concrete after high temperatures, experiments on the residual strength of manufactured-sand concrete were carried out under high temperatures in which raw materials performances and concrete mixture proportion were considered. The mechanism of elevated temperatures on residual strength was theoretically discussed, and the calculation formula of residual strength was given. The results indicated that with the increasing of temperature, the mass loss was small while the reducing of strength and the elastic modulus of manufactured-sand concrete were significantly.
