Experimental study on the shear characteristics and weakening mechanism of water-bearing rock joints
Abstract To study the weakening mechanism of the shear characteristics of water-bearing rock joints, four types of artificial saw-tooth joints (including tooth inclination angles of 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°) were prepared in sandstone with four moisture content (0%, 1.55%, 3.1% and 4.65%). This work adopted the non-destructive water intrusion, X-ray diffraction (XRD), acoustic emission (AE) and direct shear tests to mainly investigate the water and inclination angle-induced changes in shear mechanical properties, failure modes and AE characteristics of sandstone rock joints. The results show that the sandstone specimens contain quartz (91.04%), kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite, among which the content of quartz decrease while that of kaolinite and illite increase under the action of water, except that montmorillonite is a little controversial. The shear failure modes of the tested rock joints are divided into climbing, climbing-gnawing combined and gnawing. The inclination angle, followed by normal stress, has the greatest effect on the shear failure modes, and the moisture content has the least effect by comparison. The cohesion and internal friction angle have a positive linear relationship with the inclination angle and a negative linear relationship with the moisture content. According to the test results and Mohr–Coulomb model, a shear strength calculation model of rock joints considering the effect of inclination angle and moisture content is established. The intensity of the AE signal released during specimen failure increases with increasing inclination angle and decreases with moisture content.
