Mechanical Properties of Layered Composite Coal–Rock Subjected to True Triaxial Stress
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3482-5049
Abstract Underground mining or tunnelling activity is always associated with the composite geological formations. The mechanical properties of layered composite coal–rock subjected to true triaxial stress conditions are significantly different from those under conventional triaxial or uniaxial stress conditions. In this work, we conducted a series of true triaxial tests using the self-developed true-triaxial apparatus to investigate the mechanical response (e.g., deformation, strength, and failure characteristics) of the layered composite coal–rock (CCR). The results show that the uniaxial strength of CCR lies between the strength of pure sandstone and coal, and the direction of the bedding affects the overall strength of the samples. The true triaxial strength of both the pure rock and CCR increases first and then decreases with the increase of the intermediate principal stress. Moreover, for a given loading direction, as the thickness of the sandstone layer increased, the strength of the CCR increases. The deformation of the CCR shows more obvious plasticity than that of the pure sandstone due to the coordinated deformation of the coal and sandstone layers. In addition, a new true triaxial strength criterion expressed by the first and third equivalent principal stress invariants was proposed, which can well describe the strength characteristics of different coal rocks. The stress states, weak structural planes, and localized stress have a great influence on the failure modes of CCR. The local stress concentration near the contact surface promotes the development of the secondary failure fractures. These findings are of great significance in stability designing in deep underground engineering.
