1. Fracturing and Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Saturated Reservoir Rocks Under Constant-Amplitude-Cyclic Loading
-
Authors: Jun Zhu, Xiaoqing Chen, Jiangang Chen, Ziming Liu, Jianhui Deng, and Huayong Chen
-
Journal: Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment

Publication Year: 2024

DOI: 10.1007/s10064-024-03911-7
-
Summary: This study investigates the fracture behavior of slope rock masses subjected to reservoir water fluctuations. The researchers conducted constant-amplitude cyclic loading tests and acoustic emission (AE) tests on two types of sandstone—red sandstone and cyan sandstone—under both dry and saturated conditions. Key findings include:
-
Water saturation significantly reduces peak stress (by 53.98% for red sandstone and 20.70% for cyan sandstone).
-
Saturation leads to an increase in failure strain (8.03% for red sandstone and 13.27% for cyan sandstone).
-
Elevated AE activity is observed during the cyclic loading phase in saturated samples.
-
Saturation enhances the occurrence of tensile failure modes.

-
DOI: 10.1016/j.enggeo.2024.107667
-
Summary: This research focuses on understanding how varying levels of cyclic loading affect the mechanical response and microcracking behavior of saturated sandstones, particularly in the context of water weakening. The study emphasizes the importance of these factors in engineering applications where reservoir rocks are exposed to cyclic loading from seismic activity.
