Experimental Investigations on Short-Term and Creep Anisotropic Mechanical Behavior of Artificial Columnar Jointed Rock Masses
Abstract Understanding the time-dependent deformation and failure characteristics of columnar jointed rock masses (CJRM) exposed in the Baihetan hydropower station dam foundation is critical for the project’s long-term stability and safety. A series of short-term triaxial and cyclic loading creep tests for artificial CJRM specimens with various joint dip angles under a confining pressure of 5 MPa and pore pressure of 2 MPa were performed with a servo-controlled triaxial test. The influences of the joint dip angle on the short-term and creep mechanical behavior of the CJRM specimens were analyzed. The results show that the characteristic stresses, including the crack initiation stress ($$\sigma_{{{\text{ci}}}}$$), crack damage stress ($$\sigma_{{{\text{cd}}}}$$), peak strength ($$\sigma_{{\text{p}}}$$), residual strength ($$\sigma_{{\text{r}}}$$), long-term strength ($$\sigma_{\rm{L}}$$), and failure strength ($$\sigma_{{\text{f}}}$$), change with the joint dip angle in a U-shape pattern. The total axial strain comprises the instantaneous elastic strain, instantaneous plastic strain, visco-elastic strain, and visco-plastic strain, all of which depend on the joint dip angles and deviatoric stress levels. The visco-elastic strain converged to a particular value, and the visco-plastic strain increased with time. The steady-state creep strain rate increased exponentially with increasing stress ratio ($${\sigma \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {\sigma {\sigma_{{\text{f}}} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sigma_{{\text{f}}} }}$$). Finally, three failure modes associated with joint dip angles were observed. Scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy tests were conducted on the failed CJRM specimens to examine the failure mechanism.
