Overhanging Rock: Theoretical, Physical and Numerical Modeling
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5883-2251
Abstract Overhanging rock instability is a serious geological problem in mountainous regions. The initiation and propagation of a controlling crack are the fundamental causes of overhanging rock failure. In the view of fracture mechanics, the instability of toppling overhanging rock can be equivalent to the effect of pure shear and pure bending moment. This paper analyzes the evolution of displacement–load curves and failure modes of overhanging rock models at different crack lengths, crack angles, and load distances based on fracture tests of the toppling overhanging rock model. Maximum circumferential stress theory is used as the fracture criterion of mixed mode I–II fractures to calculate the stress intensity factor (SIF) of the crack tip and the theoretical failure load of the overhanging rock model. The fracture mode mechanism is analyzed by the calculated SIF. We use the extended finite element method to simulate the crack propagation path and analyze the change process from equivalent stresses of the numerical model using propagation steps. Comparisons between the physical tests, theoretical calculations, and numerical simulations verify the rationality of the experimental results.
