| Abstract: | Subcritical crack growth plays an important role in evaluating the long-term stability of structures in rocks. By applying the constant-displacement-relax method, two groups of test specimens that one immersed in groundwater and the other in air were tested to get the parameters of subcritical crack growth in double torsion test. The relations of the stress intensity factor K I versus the subcritical crack growth velocity V were obtained under the two different environments, and the behavior of subcritical crack growth was also analyzed. The results showed: the relations of lg K I ? lg V accorded with linear rules, which is in good agreement with Charles theory; Compared with specimens in nature state, the lg K I ? lg V curves of saturated water specimens locate top left comer of those of air specimens. The slope of curve is smaller, and the intercept is bigger, which shows that the water–rock interaction speeds up the subcritical crack growth. And A increases 2.9 × 1018 folds but n decreases from 85.12 to 40.83 because of the water–rock interaction. Meanwhile, the fracture toughness K IC also decreases obviously from 2.55 in air to 2.26 in water due to water rock interaction. The testing results provide a basis for time-dependence of rock engineering stability. |
