“…For the rock-concrete binary, the interface is usually a naturally weak surface with low tensile strength and is therefore susceptible to moisture migration, which can lead to unpredicted freeze-thaw damage. Furthermore, due to the peculiarities of the interface presence, the mode of moisture migration behavior is not well established [10]. Thus, the study of moisture migration and damage debonding at the rock-concrete binary interface under freeze-thaw action is a good academic prospect in terms of binary interface bonding in cold regions.…”

In this paper, we survey sandstone tunnels using sensor testing technology and conduct an in-depth analysis and research on the model of sandstone tunnel cracking based on the theory of fracture mechanics. This paper systematically investigates the static mechanical properties, energy evolution and distribution law, acoustic emission monitoring, and digital image correlation methods of intact and jointed rock chamber enclosures (including parallel jointed rock chamber enclosures and cross jointed rock chamber enclosures) under static loads, based on physical simulation test methods and combined with other technical means such as acoustic emission monitoring and digital image correlation methods. In this paper, the effects of parallel and cross-joint angles on the static mechanical properties, energy evolution and distribution, acoustic emission variability, progressive destabilization, and their mechanisms are compared and analyzed. This paper takes fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing theory and technology research as a breakthrough, relies on major underground engineering geohazard model tests, and proposes a grating spectral reconstruction theory based on the wavelength position constraint of the spectral center and its improvement based on an in-depth analysis of the influence of fiber grating intrinsic parameters and strain distribution on the reflection spectral properties. Based on an in-depth analysis of the influence of spectral center wavelength location and strain distribution on the reflectance spectral properties, we propose the grating spectral reconstruction theory based on the spectral center wavelength location constraint and its improved genetic algorithm optimization method; realize the fast and accurate identification and rejection of the melancholy effect of fiber grating; propose the sensor numerical simulation optimization design method; develop the high sensitivity seepage pressure sensor, new strain sensor, target flow sensor, microdisplacement sensor, and multipoint displacement sensor; and build a large capacity, multi-parameter fiber grating real-time monitoring network.

“…At the same time, the AE technique has often been used to study the destruction properties by recording the radiated elastic wave in the process of crack initiation, propagation and coalescence during rock deformation [25][26][27][28][29]. Meanwhile, in the study of AE characteristics in rock deformation tests, the analysis of the b value is also a focus [30][31][32][33]. The amplitudes of AE signals are always used for the b-value estimation, and amplitudes are usually divided by 20 to produce a b value comparable to that reported in the seismic literature [34][35][36].…”

The b value deduced from the Gutenberg–Richter law is an important parameter for sequence and precursory analyses, both in laboratory acoustic emission tests and seismology. As the b value is a statistical value, the maximum likelihood estimation is mostly used to estimate the b value. However, traditional singly truncated maximum likelihood estimation in seismology only considers the minimum magnitude, while the acquisition device in rock acoustic emission tests will set the threshold value and maximum value of the amplitude; therefore, maximum likelihood estimation will estimate the b value in a doubly truncated size distribution, and its confidence limits need to be discussed. Here, in this study, we derive the calculation equations of the b value and the corresponding confidence limits for the maximum likelihood estimation with a narrow amplitude span in a doubly truncated frequency–amplitude distribution. The maximum likelihood b values estimated by the scheme of a singly and doubly truncated frequency–amplitude distribution are compared through acoustic emission data with the known underlying distribution. The results show that the maximum likelihood b value and confidence limits estimation scheme derived for rock acoustic emission tests with a narrow amplitude span is more reasonable. Then, the derived estimation scheme is applied to the rock dilation rupturing test; the results confirm its applicability.

“…In recent years, the research on the mechanical properties of shale is also an important trend. For example, Xie et al (2020) studied the influence of the loading rate on shale fracture behavior under dynamic and static loading conditions and found that the crack propagation rate and fracture toughness were positively correlated with the loading rate. Wang et al (2018) studied the geotechnical engineering characteristics of red shale and revealed the unfavorable factors of its geological environment.…”

In the process of shale gas development, different drilling, hydro-fracturing, and pumping speeds will produce different productivity effects. This reflects the effect of the loading rate of rock mechanics. Therefore, it is of great scientific significance to study the deformation and failure characteristics of shale under different loading rates. In order to reveal the loading rate effect of the Longmaxi shale, a series of laboratory experiments were carried out, including scanning electron microscope, XRD, and uniaxial compression tests at different loading rates. The results show that 1) the peak strength and elastic modulus of shale increase with the increase in the loading rate, but Poisson’s ratio has no obvious rule with the increase in the loading rate. In contrast, the loading rate causes the peak strength to vary by about 20%, which is larger than that of the elastic modulus. 2) The loading rate has a significant influence on shale failure. A higher loading rate will lead to severe damage but with simple cracks, whereas a lower loading rate will lead to complex damage of cracks. With the decrease in the strain rate, the length of the failure crack increases greatly. Therefore, a lower strain rate is helpful to form more broken fragments in the shale matrix. 3) By analyzing the relationship between elastic strain energy/dissipated energy and the loading rate, it is found that the elastic strain rate has a preliminary increasing and then a decreasing trend with the loading rate, but the dissipated energy has a decreasing trend with the loading rate. A higher loading rate is helpful to increase the brittleness of the shale, but a lower loading rate is beneficial to forming more cracks and a greater degree of fracture in the shale matrix. The effect of the loading rate on the mechanical properties and fracture properties of the shale is discussed. It is suggested that the lower hydro-fracturing rate is useful for generating more complex crack networks in the shale reservoirs.
