- Abstract:
- In order to study the change law of the rock mass shear strength parameters of siltymudstone slope impacted by temperature and humidity, a method for calculating the rock mass shear strength based on the HoekBrown criterion was summarized. According to this method, a series of uniaxial mechanical tests were implemented, and the uniaxial compressive strength σc, splitting strength σt, and ultrasonic velocity Vpi of siltymudstone specimens under different temperature and humidity conditions were obtained. Based on these test results, the rock mass shear strength parameters of siltymudstone slope were calculated and analyzed. The results show that σc, σt, and Vpi of siltymudstone decreases under the effect of temperature and humidity, and the decreasing range associated with temperature difference ΔT, temperature cyclic times n and water content w. When temperature changes individually, the rock mass cohesion c and internal friction angle φ are reduced, while the decrease rate of c and φ increases with the increase in absolute temperature difference |ΔT|, average temperature in the temperature changing process, and n. Humidity changes only when the rock mass soaks water at a constant temperature, and w increases rapidly in the early stage and slowly in the later stage; the shear strength parameters c and φ pertaining to the rock mass exponentially decrease with the increase in w. When temperature and humidity change simultaneously, c and φ are significantly lower than those in the natural state because the humidity is affected by the change in temperature; c and φ increase with an increase in |ΔT| in the heating cycle, and decrease with an increase in |ΔT| in the cooling cycle. Under the equal duration, the impact of humidity on the shear strength parameters of rock mass is greater than that of temperature; the decreasing rate of the rock mass shear strength parameters impacted by simultaneous changes in temperature and humidity is greater than the sum of that of temperature and humidity changes individually, shows a synergistic effect between temperature and humidity; the decrease rate of c is always larger than that of φ. 3 tabs, 15 figs, 22 refs.
