Dynamic splitting tensile behavior of rock–concrete bimaterial disc with multiple material types under different interface inclination angle

Abstract

AbstractThe experimental investigation on the dynamic mechanical properties and failure behavior of rock–concrete composite is of great significance for understanding the mechanical response of rock–shotcrete supporting structures. In the paper, impact splitting tests were performed on Brazilian disc specimens of the rock–concrete bimaterial with different interface inclination angles. Effects of interface inclination angle and material type on dynamic response and failure behavior under dynamic impact were analyzed experimentally. The results show that the dynamic splitting strength and energy dissipation ratio increase with the increase of interface inclination angle. However, the incorporation of fibers will reduce the splitting tensile strength. The crack‐resisting effect of sandstone–fiber concrete is more obvious, and the hysteresis plateau phenomenon appears in the post‐peak section of the stress‐time curve. The interface failure behavior is related to the stress state of the interface and can be divided into three patterns: tensile fracture, shear fracture, and interface non‐ fracture.
