Tunnels and shaft mining roadways are often subjected
to varying
degrees of asymmetric loading due to terrain relief or project excavation.
In order to analyze the influence of the asymmetric degree of loading
on the mechanical properties and damage rupture law of coal rock,
uniaxial compression tests of coal rock under four asymmetric loading
modes were carried out, the influence of the asymmetric coefficients
of loading on macro- and micromechanical properties of coal and rock
was analyzed, and a statistical damage constitutive model of coal
and rock was established to reflect the asymmetric loading degree.
The results of the study show that the peak stress of the coal rock
decreases gradually with the increase in the asymmetric coefficient
of loading, and the two are linear functions of each other. The distribution
of the acoustic emission ringing count peak value is concentrated
under uniform loading, while the acoustic emission ringing count rate
presents a multipeak phenomenon under asymmetric loading, and the
peak value points are scattered. In the case of asymmetric loading,
the stress concentration on the edge of the upper loading plate leads
to shear failure, and the microscopic cracks are concentrated near
the interface between the loading zone and the nonloading zone. According
to the established damage constitutive model, when the damage degree
is the same, the larger the asymmetric coefficient, the smaller the
strain value, which indicates that the asymmetric loading promotes
the damage of coal and rock.
