Numerical Research on Anisotropy Mechanical Parameters of Fractured Rock Mass

Abstract:

With ShapeMetriX3D rock non-contact measuring technology, structural planes’ distribution of MiaoGou iron mine slope is got. Then, the Mont-Carlo method is used to create equivalent fracture network, with that scale effects and anisotropic properties of rock mass are studied by RFPA2D, considering different scales and directions in statistical window. The results show that both deformation modulus and the strength of the rock mass’s REV are 2.5 m. Furthermore, the strength ratio of filler to rock (K) and the strength of the rock mass fit the logarithmic relationship in rough, while the elastic modulus ratio of filler to rock (M) and the strength of the rock mass fit the linear relationship in rough. The strength of no joints rock mass is much stronger than three times of the strength of jointed rock mass, but the rock mass elastic modulus of no joints is less than 1.6 times of the elastic modulus of jointed rock mass. The research results are directive and have reference value for the study of anisotropy mechanical parameters of rock mass engineering.
