Abstract
The mining of deep coal resources occurs in a high-stress geological environment as well as an engineering environment of rock excavation and unloading. Research on the re-bearing capacity characteristics and damage mechanism of rock masses damaged by peak front unloading is critical in revealing the destabilization and rupture law of deep rock bodies. The triaxial pre-peak unloading point was controlled to prepare damaged sandstone specimens, and the RMT-150C rock mechanics test loading system and the AEwin USB-type acoustic emission monitor were used to perform uniaxial reloading tests on the pre-peak unloading-damaged sandstone and to monitor the acoustic emission signals during the rupture process. Among them, the peak front unloading point was set to 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, and 90% of the peak strength at 10 MPa of the surrounding pressure for a total of 11 working conditions. The test results show that: (1) The degree of unloading before the peak controls the uniaxial reload deformation characteristics of sandstone. The higher the unloading point, the faster the deformation of the rock sample, even directly into the crack instability extension stage, and the sandstone deformation characteristics transform from plastic—elastic to elastic—viscous. (2) The cumulative energy characteristics of the 40% to 60% sandstone at the unloading point are comparable to those of the complete sandstone and are separated into smooth, steady growth, and secondary smooth phases. The acoustic emission energy characteristics of the 65% and 70% sandstone at the unloading point are mostly focused on during the crack expansion stage. The sandstone’s acoustic emission energy characteristics exhibit a “double peak” occurrence at 75% of the unloading point. The cumulative energy characteristics of the 80% to 90% sandstone at the unloading point reveal a “stepped” rise. (3) Sandstone’s pre-peak unloading rupture morphology influences the reload damage characteristics: 40% to 70% of the specimens at the unloading point exhibit “Y”-type double-slope shear damage features. The predominant cause of specimen damage in 75% of the specimens at the unloading point is secondary primary cracks based on the pre-peak tensile rupture pattern. The damage path of 80% to 90% of the specimens at the point of unloading occurs in shear damage along the pre-peak unloading rupture pattern. (4) A closed crack mechanics analysis model under uniaxial reload was established, and the basic solution of pseudo-force for fine microcracks subjected to far-field stress, the stress intensity factor at the crack tip, and the crack fracture angle were theoretically derived. Furthermore, the relationship between the fracture angle θ of rock compression-shear cracks, the crack angle β, and the friction coefficient f at the crack surface was clarified.
