Abstract

AbstractHydraulic coupling triaxial test and acoustic emission test were carried out for Xiluodu basalt. The test results show that the peak strength of basalt increases with the increase of confining pressure, showing a typical hard brittle behavior. When the confining pressure remains unchanged, the peak strength decreases gradually with the increase of initial water pressure, and the hard brittleness decreases; Increasing the initial water pressure can promote the propagation of rock cracks, and the cumulative count of acoustic emission increases significantly with the increase of water pressure. Under the combined action of water pressure in the hole and external stress, the tensile failure occurs first and mainly in the internal cracks of basalt. Further, the functional relationship among crack initiation stress, confining pressure and water pressure is obtained through theoretical derivation and three-dimensional spatial data fitting. On this basis, the empirical relationship between critical water pressure, confining pressure and water pressure is established. The correlation is consistent with the test results, which has a good reference value for the study of critical water pressure of basalt crack propagation under hydraulic coupling.
