Abstract

Dynamic biaxial compression tests and Particle Flow Code numerical simulations of the cement mortar specimens with a single joint were carried out to study the mechanical properties and crack evolution of artificial rock samples with a single joint. The effects of lateral stress σ2, loading rate V, the dip angle β (between the vertical loading direction and the joint) on the biaxial compressive strength σb, and the evolution law of crack were investigated. Test results showed that; (1) when both the dip angle β and the loading rate V remained unchanged, the biaxial compressive strength σb increased with the increase in the lateral stress σ2, while σ2 had no obvious effect on the crack evolution law; (2) when both the dip angle β and the lateral stress σ2 were kept unchanged, the loading rate V had an insignificant effect on the biaxial compressive strength σb and the crack evolution law; (3) when both the lateral stress σ2 and the loading rate V were constant, the biaxial compressive strength σb decreased first and then increased with the increase in the dip angle β; however, the dip angle β did not significantly affect the crack evolution law. The conclusions obtained in this paper are presented for the first time.
