Abstract
The deformation and failure of composite rock masses at the contact zone can cause serious safety hazards in underground engineering. Therefore, uniaxial compression experiment and numerical studies of composite samples were conducted. Combined with theoretical analysis, the effects of differences in the mechanical properties of two media on the mechanical properties and failure form of composite samples were investigated. The results show that the difference in mechanical properties of two media weakened the strength and elastic modulus of the composite sample and resulted in complex failure form of the sample. Additionally, the peaks of the AE frequencies of the two media occurred successively after the peak stress of the sample. At the macrolevel, the two media failed successively. These effects are more pronounced as the degree of difference in the mechanical properties of the two media increased. The difference in mechanical properties of the two media resulted in uncoordinated deformation and constrained stress near the contact interface, and the difference in Poisson’s ratio is the main factor. The influence (enhanced or weakened) of uncoordinated deformation on the mechanical properties of the composite sample is affected by differences in the elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratios of the two media.
