Failure Behavior and Energy Evolution of Granite Containing Pre-existing Fissures Characterized by AE and DIC
摘要
The coupled effects of fissure number and inclination on the mechanical behavior and energy evolution of rock masses are not fully understood, representing a critical gap in stability assessment. This study systematically investigates this interplay in granite under uniaxial compression using AE and DIC monitoring. Our results reveal three key findings: (1) Compressive strength and energy indicators exhibit a distinct “U-shaped” trend with inclination, minimizing at 45°, and decrease monotonically as fissure number increases. (2) The failure mechanism is governed by inclination, transitioning from tension-dominated (0°/90°) to shear-dominated (45°). (3) Rockburst proneness peaks at the 45° inclination and is significantly attenuated by the presence of multiple fissures. These findings clarify the complex relationship between fissure geometry and rock failure mechanisms, offering a quantitative basis for hazard prevention in fissured rock masses.
