Stability Analysis of Perilous Rock in Views of Damage and Fracture Mechanics

Perilous rock rupture is dominated by damage and fracture of the dominant fissure. Define factor of safety of perilous rock as the ratio of the damage fracture tenacity at the end area of the dominant fissure to the union fracture strength factor; Transfer loads acting on perilous rock to the dominant fissure, and divide them into four components, i.e., water pressure in fissure, average shear stress, moment around the end of the dominant fissure, and average tension stress, further, contribute methods to calculate fracture strength factor every components in view of fracture mechanics; Based on these individual fracture strength factors, establish the method to calculate the union fracture strength factor along fracture orientation near the end area of the dominant fissure. Further, on the basis of damage duration of the dominant fissure, provide the formula to solve the fracture tenacity of rock in damage area near the end of the dominant fissure in detal. Case analyses identify that it is reasonable to consider orientation earthquake force in stability analysis of perilous rock, which promulgates the stability status of perilous rock more effective than that by the limit equilibrium principle.
