Abstract

To study the mechanical properties and energy evolution characteristics of the shallow fractured coal in the Western China mining area, a series of triaxial compression tests was carried out on fractured coal specimens. The stress–strain curve, mechanical properties and failure characteristics were analyzed. Then, the fractal characteristics and energy evolution law were investigated. Results show that with the increase of prefabricated crack number, the post-peak stage of the stress–strain curve changed from a linear drop to a stepped drop, indicating that the damage degree tends to moderate. Both the elastic modulus and peak strength decreased as the prefabricated crack number increased, whereas the peak strain did not exhibit a clear trend. The failure mode changed from overall tensile failure to tensile-shear mixed failure as the prefabricated crack number increased. With the increase of prefabricated crack number, the failure shape dimension increased linearly. The total energy and elastic energy decreased gradually with the increase of prefabricated crack number, whereas the dissipation energy increased gradually. The results can provide a better understanding of the failure mechanism of fractured coal and its application for control design.
