文摘With the growing global demand for energy,deep underground salt caverns are emerging as a potential solution for large-scale energy storage.In this study,multistage cyclic loading tests were conducted on rock salt at different temperatures in combination with real-time acoustic emission(AE)monitoring.The results show that the cumulative AE count increases stepwise with increasing cyclic stress.The peak frequency is concentrated primarily in the medium-frequency range,exhibiting a band distribution across low-,medium-,and high-frequency ranges.As the temperature increases,the proportion of low-frequency signals decreases from 14.32%to 5.76%,whereas the proportion of medium-frequency signals increases from 85.48%to 94.1%.The proportion of high-frequency signals remains relatively constant between 0.1%and 0.2%.The amplitude-count relationship of the AE signals demonstrates a strong negative power-law correlation.Furthermore,with increasing temperature,the negative power-law exponent of the amplitude gradually decreases,with the b value decreasing from 1.096 to 0.837 and the a value decreasing from 7.4871 to 6.6982.Under all four temperature conditions,the dominant failure mode in rock salt is tensile cracking.However,as the temperature increases,the proportion of tensile cracks decreases from 88.59%to 75.12%,whereas the proportion of shear cracks at 80℃is nearly double that at 20℃.This finding indicates that as the temperature increases,the ductility of the material increases,and the crack propagation mode shifts from tensile to shear.This research provides valuable insights for the design and stability assessment of salt cavern reservoirs for deep underground energy storage systems.

文摘In complex geological environments,the analysis of drill cores to determine rock strength can be challenging due to the wide variability in the degree of fracturing,leading to subjectivity in the collection of representative samples for uniaxial compressive strength testing.This study evaluates non-destructive techniques on calcareous rocks with different tectonic deformations,including Equotip hardness,ultrasound P-wave velocity,thin section analysis,and calcimetry,integrated with photogrammetric fracture analysis.The investigated carbonate rock samples are sourced from drill cores derived from the Umbria-Marche fold and thrust belt(northern Apennines,Italy),including a gently dipping limb of an anticline,a hinge zone of an anticline,and a fault zone associated with a thrust.Fracture intensity,quantified by the P21 parameter using photogrammetric techniques on pre-loading rock samples,is assessed alongside macroscopic identification of discontinuities(such as stylolites,veins,and joints)using marker colours to monitor failures during uniaxial compression testing.Empirical correlations depicted by single and multi-linear relationships indicate a strong dependence between the mechanical and physical properties of limestones.Both Equotip and P-wave velocity are influenced by fracture intensity,but P-wave velocity varies significantly with discontinuity orientation,especially at 45°-90°.To refine uniaxial compressive strength predictions and mitigate multicollinearity,statistical approaches,including linear and multilinear regression,Principal Component Analysis and Gaussian Process Regression,were tested.Findings improve the reliability of non-destructive techniques for assessing rock strength in structurally complex settings,with implications for geotechnical applications.

文摘This study examined non-uniform loading in goaf cantilever rock masses via testing,modeling,and mechanical analysis to solve instantaneous fracture and section buckling from mining abutment pressure.The study investigates the non-uniform load gradient effect on fracture characteristics,including load characteristics,fracture location,fracture distribution,and section roughness.A digital model for fracture interface buckling analysis was developed,elucidating the influence of non-uniform load gradients on Fracture Interface Curvature(FIC),Buckling Rate of Change(BRC),and Buckling Domain Field(BDF).The findings reveal that nonlinear tensile stress concentration and abrupt tensile-compressive-shear strain mutations under non-uniform loading are fundamental mechanisms driving fracture path buckling in cantilever rock mass structures.The buckling process of rock mass under non-uniform load can be divided into two stages:low load gradient and high gradient load.In the stage of low gradient load,the buckling behavior is mainly reflected in the compression-shear fracture of the edge.In the stage of high gradient load,a buckling band along the loading direction is gradually formed in the rock mass.These buckling principles establish a theoretical basis for accurately characterizing bearing fractures,fracture interface instability,and vibration sources within overlying cantilever rock masses in goaf.

文摘To investigate the energy relief effect of real-time drilling in preventing rockburst in high-stress rock,a series of high-stress real-time drilling uniaxial compression tests were conducted on red sandstone specimens using the SG4500 drilling rig.Results showed that the mechanical behavior(i.e.peak strength and rockburst intensity)of the rock was weakened under high-stress real-time drilling and exhibited a downward trend as the drilling diameter increased.The real-time drilling energy dissipation index(ERD)was proposed to characterize the energy relief during high-stress real-time drilling.The ERD exhibited a linear increase with the real-time drilling diameter.Furthermore,the elastic strain energy of post-drilling rock showed a linear relationship with the square of stress across different stress levels,which also applied to the peak elastic strain energy and the square of peak stress.This findingreveals the intrinsic link between the weakening effect of peak elastic strain energy and peak strength due to high-stress real-time drilling,confirmingthe consistency between energy relief and pressure relief effects.By establishing relationships among rockburst proneness,peak elastic strain energy,and peak strength,it was demonstrated that high-stress real-time drilling reduces rockburst proneness through energy dissipation.Specifically,both peak elastic strain energy and rockburst proneness decreased with larger drill bit diameters,consistent with reductions in peak strength,rockburst intensity,and fractal dimensions of high-stress real-time drilled rock.These results validate the energy relief mechanism of real-time drilling in mitigating rockburst risks.

文摘This study investigated the heterogeneous responses of organic matter(OM)in highly-to over-mature source rocks during thermal maturation.An integrated analysis was conducted on the Raman spectroscopic and geochemical signatures of shales from the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation and the Lower Cambrian Qiongzhusi Formation,as well as anthracites from the Lower Permian Shanxi–Formation and the Upper Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation(collectively referred to as the Shanxi Taiyuan Formations).Additionally,burial and thermal evolution modeling was employed to support the analysis.A systematic assessment of Raman spectral parameters(e.g.,the positions and intensity ratio of the D and G bands)revealed robust correlations between the thermal history patterns of source rocks and molecular structural evolution parameters.The subsequent mechanistic quantification demonstrated that the maturation state of the source rocks was subjected to the hierarchical control of three principal factors:Peak heating temperature,the duration of sustained thermal intensity,and effective maturation duration.In addition,comparative analyses demonstrated that the anthracites attained higher structural ordering under sustained thermal conditions.This contrasts with the disordered carbon matrices observed in the intermittently heated shales.Raman spectroscopy further revealed broader variations in the D and G band intensities of the Longmaxi Formation compared to the Qiongzhusi Formation.This difference is associated with their different thermal histories.The thermal burial histories confirm that shales in the Longmaxi Formation underwent thermal exposure at lower peak temperatures over a shorter duration compared to those in the Qiongzhusi Formation.Finally,this study established a maturity calibration model for over-mature source rocks through a systematic correlation between Raman peak height ratios(R_(D/G))and vitrinite reflectance(R_(o)).

文摘An innovative real-time monitoring method for surrounding rock damage based on microseismic time-lapse double-difference tomography is proposed for delayed dynamic damage identification and insufficient detection of adverse geological conditions in deep-buried tunnel construction.The installation techniques for microseismic sensors were optimized by mounting sensors at bolt ends which significantly improves signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and anti-interference capability compared to conventional borehole placement.Subsequently,a 3D wave velocity evolution model that incorporates construction-induced disturbances was established,enabling the first visualization of spatiotemporal variations in surrounding rock wave velocity.It finds significant wave velocity reduction near the tunnel face,with roof and floor damage zones extending 40–50 m;wave velocities approaching undisturbed levels at 15 m ahead of the working face and on the laterally undisturbed side;pronounced spatial asymmetry in wave velocity distribution—values on the left side exceed those on the right,with a clear stress concentration or transition zone located 10–15 m;and systematically lower velocities behind the face than in front,indicating asymmetric rock damage development.These results provide essential theoretical support and practical guidance for optimizing dynamic construction strategies,enabling real-time adjustment of support parameters,and establishing safety early warning systems in deep-buried tunnel engineering.

文摘The development of metallic mineral resources generates a significant amount of solid waste,such as tailings and waste rock.Cemented tailings and waste-rock backfill(CTWB)is an effective method for managing and disposing of this mining waste.This study employs a macro-meso-micro testing method to investigate the effects of the waste rock grading index(WGI)and loading rate(LR)on the uniaxial compressive strength(UCS),pore structure,and micromorphology of CTWB materials.Pore structures were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and mercury intrusion porosimetry(MIP).The particles(pores)and cracks analysis system(PCAS)software was used to quantitatively characterize the multi-scale micropores in the SEM images.The key findings indicate that the macroscopic results(UCS)of CTWB materials correspond to the microscopic results(pore structure and micromorphology).Changes in porosity largely depend on the conditions of waste rock grading index and loading rate.The inclusion of waste rock initially increases and then decreases the UCS,while porosity first decreases and then increases,with a critical waste rock grading index of 0.6.As the loading rate increases,UCS initially rises and then falls,while porosity gradually increases.Based on MIP and SEM results,at waste rock grading index 0.6,the most probable pore diameters,total pore area(TPA),pore number(PN),maximum pore area(MPA),and area probability distribution index(APDI)are minimized,while average pore form factor(APF)and fractal dimension of pore porosity distribution(FDPD)are maximized,indicating the most compact pore structure.At a loading rate of 12.0 mm/min,the most probable pore diameters,TPA,PN,MPA,APF,and APDI reach their maximum values,while FDPD reaches its minimum value.Finally,the mechanism of CTWB materials during compression is analyzed,based on the quantitative results of UCS and porosity.The research findings play a crucial role in ensuring the successful application of CTWB materials in deep metal mines.

文摘Discontinuities in rock masses critically impact the stability and safety of underground engineering.Mainstream discontinuities identificationmethods,which rely on normal vector estimation and clustering algorithms,suffer from accuracy degradation,omission of critical discontinuities when orientation density is unevenly distributed,and need manual intervention.To overcome these limitations,this paper introduces a novel discontinuities identificationmethod based on geometric feature analysis of rock mass.By analyzing spatial distribution variability of point cloud and integrating an adaptive region growing algorithm,the method accurately detects independent discontinuities under complex geological conditions.Given that rock mass orientations typically follow a Fisher distribution,an adaptive hierarchical clustering algorithm based on statistical analysis is employed to automatically determine the optimal number of structural sets,eliminating the need for preset clusters or thresholds inherent in traditional methods.The proposed approach effectively handles diverse rock mass shapes and sizes,leveraging both local and global geometric features to minimize noise interference.Experimental validation on three real-world rock mass models,alongside comparisons with three conventional directional clustering algorithms,demonstrates superior accuracy and robustness in identifying optimal discontinuity sets.The proposed method offers a reliable and efficienttool for discontinuities detection and grouping in underground engineering,significantlyenhancing design and construction outcomes.

文摘Rock mass stability is significantly influenced by the heterogeneity of rock joint roughness and shear strength.While modern technology facilitates assessing roughness heterogeneity,evaluating shear strength heterogeneity remains challenging.To address this,this study first captures the morphology of large-scale(1000 mm × 1000 mm) slate and granite joints via 3D laser scanning.Analysis of these surfaces and corresponding push/pull tests on carved specimens revealed a potential correlation between the heterogeneity of roughness and shear strength.A comparative evaluation of five statistical metrics identified information entropy(Hs) as the most robust indicator for quantifying rock joint heterogeneity.Further analysis using Hsreveals that the heterogeneity is anisotropic and,critically,that shear strength heterogeneity is governed not only by roughness heterogeneity but is also significantly influenced by the mean roughness value,normal stress,and intact rock tensile strength.Consequently,a simple comparison of roughness Hsvalues is insufficient for reliably comparing shear strength heterogeneity.To overcome this limitation,a theoretical framework is developed to explicitly map fundamental roughness statistics(mean and heterogeneity) to shear strength heterogeneity.This framework culminates in a practical workflow that allows for the rapid,field-based assessment of shear strength heterogeneity using readily obtainable rock joint roughness data.
