Wetting deformation characteristics of soil–rock mixture considering the water-disintegration of red stratum soft rock
The red stratum soft rock, contained extensively in the deep soil–rock mixture (SRM) backfill area of southwest China, exhibits significant water-disintegrating properties that greatly impact the foundation's bearing capacity and deformation failure in this region. This study introduced the large-scale triaxial test to investigate the mechanical deformation characteristics of clay-red stratum soft rock mixture before and after wetting. Simultaneous, combined with the results of test, the law of water disintegration of red stratum soft rock was revealed, and its effects were analyzed in detail. The results show that: (1) Wetting intensified the crushing of rock blocks, resulting in the reduction of shear strength and critical strain of the samples, the decrease of critical internal friction angle and secant modulus, and the significant increase of the relative crushing rate of rock blocks; (2) The most significant increase and decrease of the content before and after the test occur in the particles with the particle size of 0.5–2 mm and 20–40 mm, respectively; (3) Wetting-induced breakage of the red stratum soft rock mainly occurs during the first two hours after encountering water; (4) An increase in confining pressure exacerbates the influence of wetting. Additionally, based on the theory of non-linear elasticity, with the assuming that the reduction of secant modulus causes the wetting deformation, a theoretical calculation model of the wetting axial strain was proposed. Through comparing the calculated results with the measured values obtained by using the “double-line method” and “single-line method” test, it is found that the calculation method can accurately predict the wetting axial strain of SRM and be used for quantitative analysis of wetting deformation.
