“…Rock block proportion (RBP) is one of the most important factors affecting the mechanical properties of bimrocks, and it can be divided into volumetric block proportion (VBP) [ 16 , 17 ] and weight block proportion (WBP) [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. According to different classification in two-dimensional studies, there is also the term ABP (areal block proportions) [ 21 ].…”

The rock block proportion is one of the most important factors affecting the mechanical properties of bimrocks. Under different block-to-matrix strength ratios, the influence of rock block proportion is different. To explore the influence of rock block proportion on the mechanical properties of specimens under different block-to-matrix strength ratios, a new indoor test method for making bimrocks was proposed. A uniaxial compression test and a direct shear test were carried out on specimens with different rock block proportions. The results show that this method can control the block-to-matrix strength ratio well, and the influence of rock block proportion is obviously different under different block-to-matrix strength ratios. The strong matrix sample will decrease significantly after reaching the peak compressive strength, while the weak matrix will decrease slowly after reaching the peak strength. The rock block proportion is negatively correlated with the uniaxial compressive strength of strong matrix samples (the reduction was 12.53%) and is positively correlated with the uniaxial compressive strength of weak matrix samples as a whole, but it changes when block proportion is more than 50%. With the increase in normal stress and rock block proportion increases from 30% to 60%, the shear failure zone of the weak matrix sample increases, and the cracks are inclined, while the strong matrix sample has more secondary cracks. The results of this study also show that the effect of volumetric block proportion (VBP) on the internal friction angle and cohesion of the sample is less related to the block-to-matrix strength ratio.
