Abstract

Underground rock engineering often encounters long-term cyclic loading and unloading. Under the influence of this effect, the mechanical characteristics of rocks will inevitably change, which will affect the stability and safety of underground engineering. Therefore, it is necessary to study the fatigue characteristics of rocks under a certain period of action. With an RDL series electronic creep relaxation testing machine, fatigue loading and unloading tests of sandstone at different loading rates were carried out, followed by uniaxial compression on the samples. The study shows that the stress–strain curves of the uniaxial compression specimens have three stages: a compaction pore fracture stage, an elastic deformation stage, and an unstable fracture developing to failure stage. The stress–strain curves of the samples with a certain number of cycles of loading and unloading give the thinning and dense phenomenon, and the axial upper limit strain and axial cumulative residual strain gradually decrease as the loading rate increases. With the increase, the uniaxial compressive strength of the reloaded samples increases gradually, which is higher than the ordinary uniaxial compressive strength. In the process of cyclic loading and unloading, the internal particles of the sample present fracture and reorganization of the fragile structure and, at the same time, compaction stability.
