Experimental Study On Brazilian Splitting Of Phyllite Under The Coupling Effects Of Water, Pore And Bedding, Chuang Zhang, Song Ren, Ping Zhang, Neng-Zeng Long
Rock and Soil Mechanics
Phylite is widely distributed in southwest of China. Factors such as groundwater, bedding, micro-pores and micro-cracks will weaken its mechanical properties to some extent, thus posing severe challenges to the stability of the related projects. Therefore, in this paper, based on Brazilian splitting test, the evolutions of the tensile strength, energy and failure forms of phyllite under the coupling effects of water, bedding and pore are studied. The results show that the tensile strength decreases gradually with the increase of moisture content, pore diameter and bedding angle. However, the tensile strength has different sensitivities to the changes of them, which …

Rock and Soil Mechanics
Bedding structural planes play a dominated role in the failure process of carbonaceous slate under loading/unloading conditions. In this work, specimens with the clay mineral rich carbonaceous slate were sampled from Muzhailing tunnel of Shaanxi province in China. A series of Brazilian split tests for the rock specimens was conducted and the corresponding numerical simulations were perfor- med using the cohesive zone model (CZM), in which different bedding angles in the rock were taken into account. This study indicates that the load-displacement relations of the rock specimens with different bedding angles under loads are similar to each other. All of …
