Evaluation Methodology of Brittleness of Rock Based on Post-Peak Stress–Strain Curves
Abstract Brittleness is an important characteristic of rocks, for it has a strong influence on the failure process no matter from perspective of facilitating rock breakage or controlling rock failure when rocks are being loaded. Various brittleness criteria have been proposed to describe rock brittleness. In this paper, the existing brittle indices are summarised and then analysed in terms of their applicability to describe rock brittleness. The analysis demonstrates that the widely used strength ratio or product (σc/σt, σc·σt) of rocks cannot describe rock brittleness properly and that most of the indices neglect the impact of the rock’s stress state on its brittleness. A new evaluation method that includes the degree of brittleness (Bd) and brittle failure intensity (Bf) is proposed based on the magnitude and velocity of the post-peak stress drop, which can be easily obtained from the conventional uniaxial and triaxial compression tests. The two indices can accurately account for the influence of the confining pressure on brittleness, and the applicability of the new evaluation method is verified by different experiments. The relationship between Bd and Bf is also discussed.
