Abstract
A compressed-fracture slumping mode of the tower-column unstable rock mass is unusual, and the damage-catastrophe mechanism is a critical scientific issue in the mountainous disaster. Taking Zengziyan W12# unstable rock mass collapse in Jinfo mountain, Nanchuan District of Chongqing Municipality in China as an example, a multi-factor coupled damage-catastrophe geomechanical model consisted of freezing–thawing, dissolution, load, and the water-weakening effect was built. A damage constitutive model and a total damage evolution analytical formula were attained based on the equivalent strain principal, and the improved water-weakening function was easier to access in the indoor test. We generalize the geomechanical model into an equivalent spring model, and the energy balance theory acquires the damage fold-catastrophe model and gains the failure criterion of the compressed-fracture slumping mode and an eigenvalue expression of the critical mutation displacement. The theoretical catastrophic displacement value fits the real displacement inflection point value basically and the damage-catastrophe model is reasonable. The research can predict the damage evolution process and the critical catastrophic displacement eigenvalue of the compressed-fracture slumping mode of a tower-column unstable rock mass and provide theoretical support for the geo-disaster prevention in the mountainous zone.
