Abstract

The prefabricated artificial filled jointed rock specimens are impacted by a self-made drop hammer impact device for many times, and the specimens with different degrees of cumulative damage characteristics are obtained. Then, the static and dynamic compression mechanical properties are studied by using universal testing machine and SHPB device. Through the static compression test, the strength and deformation characteristics of jointed rock specimens after multiple impacts are obtained, and the influence of the damage degree of jointed rock specimens characterized by wave velocity on the compressive strength of filled joints is analysed. Based on the results of SHPB impact test, the dynamic strength and deformation evolution, wave propagation law and energy dissipation law of filled joints after multiple impacts are analysed. During the SHPB test, the impact failure process of rock specimens is recorded by a high-speed camera. The experimental results show that the damage degree of jointed rock samples increases nonlinearly after multiple impacts. The attenuation laws of static strength and dynamic strength of rock samples under the same damage evolution conditions are different. With the increase of impact times, the failure mode of jointed rock samples after damage is simpler and tends to compression failure.
