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.
