This paper investigated the relationship between the strength of fractured rock and the crack propagation process. A series of uniaxial compression tests were carried out on the rock-like material specimens with single pre-fabricated flaw. Moreover, DIC (digital image correlation) technology was utilized to monitor and analyze the failure process of specimens. The initiation of each crack was defined as a key event, and the relationship between several key events and the axial load of the specimen during the crack propagation was quantitatively analyzed. The time-sequence analysis of crack propagation was also conducted by selecting benchmark points on the both sides of major cracks. It can be found that only the wing crack propagation occurs and there is no obvious shear crack before the peak strength. When the first secondary crack initiated, the specimen reached its peak strength and the wing crack just reached its critical length. Beyond the peak strength, secondary cracks initiated and coalesced rapidly, which leads to the sudden failure of fractured rock. Therefore, the peak strength of the specimen can be assessed by taking the critical length of the steadily propagating wing crack as the condition which determines whether the specimen reaches the peak strength. Furthermore, the discrete element numerical simulation was also implemented to confirm the experimental results.

A “rock bridge”, defined as the closest distance between two joints in a rock mass, is an important feature affecting the jointed rock mass strength. Artificial jointed rock specimens with two parallel joint fractures were tested under uniaxial compression and numerical simulations were carried out to study the effects of the inclination of the rock bridge, the dip angle of the joint, rock bridge length, and the length of joints on the strength of the jointed rock mass. Research results show: (1) When the length of the joint fracture, the length of the rock bridge, and the inclination of the rock bridge stay unchanged, the uniaxial compressive strength of the specimen gradually increases as the inclination of the joint fracture increases from 0° to 90°. (2) When the length of the joint fracture, the length of the rock bridge, and the inclination of the joint fracture stay unchanged, the uniaxial compressive strength of the specimen shows variations in trends with the inclination of the rock bridge increasing from 30° to 150° (3). In the case when the joint is angled from the vertical loading direction, when the dip angle of the joint fracture, the inclination of the rock bridge, and the length of the rock bridge stay unchanged, the uniaxial compressive strength of the specimen gradually decreases with an increasing length of joint fracture. When the dip angle of the joint fracture, the inclination of the rock bridge, and the length of the joint fracture stay unchanged, the uniaxial compressive strength of the specimen does not show a clear trend with an increase of the length of the rock bridge.

Generally, in many cases of rock engineering, the openings often constructed in rock-mass containing non-persistent joints. However, comparing with the previous works, few studies investigate the failure or damage due to the crack propagation and coalescence around an opening. Based on the uniaxial compression tests and particle flow code (PFC) the interaction effect of opening and joints on the crack coalescence behavior around an opening are investigated in this study. From the view of experimental and numerical results, strength parameters are mainly effected by joints (inclination and distance). Specifically, the uniaxial compressive strength of jointed specimen (UCSJ) and elastic modulus of jointed specimen (EJ) of specimens decrease for 0° ≤ α ≤ 45° and increase for α > 45°. UCSJ and EJ increases with increasing joint distance (d) for all joint inclination angel (α) values, with the highest and lowest strengths obtained for d = 50 mm and d = 20 mm, respectively. The opening has a great influence on the failure mode of jointed specimen. Unlike previous results, in this study, jointed specimens present four new kinds of failure modes: Mode-I (horizontally symmetrical splitting failure); Mode-II (stepped failure at opening sides); Mode-III (failure through a plane); Mode-IV (mixed failure). The strength parameters and failure modes in the numerically simulated and experimental results are in good agreement, and the results are expected to be useful in predicting the stability of an opening in a non-persistently jointed mass.
