Abstract

Considering the geological formation characteristics of bedded salt rock in China, triaxial compression tests were carried out on samples of bedded model material. The influences of interface inclination on stress-strain curves, compressive strength, elastic modulus, stress decreases after the peak stresses and damage modes of samples of bedded model material are discussed; and theoretical analyses are carried out on the damage modes of samples with varying inclinations. Testing results and theoretical analyses show that: (1) The triaxial compressive strength increases firstly and decreases afterwards as the interface inclination increase; and it reaches the minimum and the maximum when the interface inclination is 60°and 90°, respectively. (2) Its elastic modulus increases as the inclination increase with the increasing trend slow at the start of inclination increasing, and then fast when the inclination gets near 90°. (3) The Stress decreases after peak stresses lessen firstly and increase afterwards as the interface inclination increase; and it reaches its minimum and maximum when the inclination is 30°and 90°, respectively. (4) As the interface inclination increase, damage modes show the law of damage from conjugate shear damage(the interface inclination is 0°), shear failure along the poor-strength surface(the interface inclinations are 30°and 60°) to shear and local splitting failure(the inclination is 90°). (5) The top and bottom of the storage are of high-strength but high brittleness; and measures should be taken to control their displacement and deformation; and the waist and adjacent places of the storage(30°and 60°of the storage) are of low strength and high plasticity; and careful design should be adopted for its shape and running pressure. Theoretical analyses are carried out on the results of the triaxial compression experiments, so as to offer a certain reference to further analyses of storage stability in bedded salt rock areas.
