| Summary: | This research is aimed at investigating the influence of the coal height ratio on the mechanical properties and damage behavior of rock-coal-rock combined samples (RCRCS) under coupled static and dynamic loads. For this purpose, a uniaxial cyclic dynamic loading experiment with four different coal height ratios of RCRCS was conducted. Mechanical properties, failure modes, and wave velocity evolution of RCRCS were analyzed; the process of rock burst under coupled static and dynamic loads in rock-coal-rock combined structure was discussed. The following research results are obtained. (1) The peak strength of RCRCS under static and dynamic load decreases with the increasing coal height ratio as an inverse proportional function. (2) The loading and unloading modulus remains consistent for the same levels of dynamic load; the coal height ratio of 40% may be the limit for the stable value of modulus. (3) The increase of the coal height in RCRCS leads to a gradual increase of the energy release rate; the cracks develop preferentially in coal and then extend to rock sample. The distribution of AE events and damage is consistent with the distribution of passive wave velocity. The research results provide important scientific bases for the guidance of early warning of rock burst. |
