Abstract:
It is seldom possible that rock engineering structures found without joints, cracks, or discontinuities. On the other hand, the application range of these structures are steadily increasing in recent years and includes bridges, tunnels, slopes, underground gas storage. Thereby, their impact is to be considered in the rock structure design. In the present study, it is intended to evaluate the effect of induced micro-cracks on the mechanical behavior of rock specimens. For this purpose, 24 cylindrical specimens of Granit were prepared and some of them heated up to 1000 degrees Celsius to induce micro-crack in the specimens. In the next, Uniaxial compression test for determination of stress-strain curve of heated and unheated specimens were performed based on International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) suggested methods on a cylindrical specimen with 110 mm and 54 mm in length and diameter, respectively. The tests were conducted using a load controlled testing machine and the loading rate was kept at 0.5 MPa/Sec. Results of experimental tests indicated that mechanical properties of heated specimens decrease with increasing the temperature. In the heated specimens, some fractures induced that influence on the failure pattern of specimens. The failure pattern of unheated specimen is axial splitting mode, while the failure pattern of heated specimen up to 1000 degree Celsius changes to shear mode failure.
