Abstract
Most of the rock surrounding deep roadways is in a fractured state; fractured rock has significant rheological properties, and the time-dependent mechanical properties of fractured rock affect excavation construction, support design, and long-term stability of deep roadways. Triaxial compression and mercury intrusion tests are conducted on the bearing characteristics of severely damaged and fractured rock samples, indicating the strength degradation properties of these samples. The evolution of the internal pore structure in damaged and fractured rock samples is analyzed in relation to changes in unloading points (pre-peak stage, peak point, and post-peak stage), leading to the establishment of a quantitative evaluation index for rock damage based on the porosity evolution. Short-term rheological testing is performed on rock samples with varying degrees of damage and fracture, demonstrating the evolution of creep and stress relaxation characteristics. The findings contribute to a deeper theoretical understanding of the post-peak mechanical properties of coal and rock masses, which hold significant theoretical implications and can inform research on long-term stability in underground engineering applications, such as deeply buried roadways, tunnels, and chambers.
