Abstract
Locked-in stress refers to internal stress present within rock formations that can influence the failure process of rocks under specific conditions. A simplified mechanical model is applied, drawing on elasticity and the hypothesis of locked-in stress, to explore the influence of locked-in stress on the mechanical properties of loaded rocks. An analytical solution is obtained for the stress distribution in a failure model of rocks that include locked-in stress. The findings demonstrate that the geometry and orientation of stress inclusions within the rock influence the initiation and propagation of cracks under the combined influence of locked-in stress and high-stress conditions. Moreover, the presence of locked-in stress substantially reduces the rock’s capacity to withstand maximum stress, thereby increasing its susceptibility to reaching a state of failure. The increase in closure stress leads to a significant increase in the magnitude of the maximum stress drop and radial strain variation within the rock, resulting in reduced strength and a shortened life of the ageing failure of the rock. In addition, the influence of stress inclusions on energy dissipation is investigated, and a novel relationship is established between the roughness coefficient of the rock structure surface and the angle of the rock failure surface. This relationship serves to characterize the linear dynamic strength properties of rock materials containing locked-in stress. This investigation not only advances the comprehension of stress distribution patterns and the effects of locked-in stress on rock failure patterns but also facilitates a more precise portrayal of the nonlinear features of alterations in the rock stress-strain curve under the influence of confined stress. These findings provide a solid theoretical foundation for ensuring the safety of excavations in various deep engineering projects.
