Abstract: | The dynamic tensile strength properties of the rock interface and its host rocks sampled from the Baihetan Hydropower Station
from Western China were measured using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The results were compared with those for its
two host rocks. The dynamic tensile strengths of the two host rocks, tuff and basalt have typical loading rate dependence.
However, the dynamic response of the rock interface is much more complicated and at a given loading rate, varies between those
of tuff and basalt. To explain the observation, numerical simulation using the discrete element method (DEM) was conducted
to determine the detailed tensile failure process of the rock interface. The numerical simulation verifies that the variation
of the dynamic tensile strength of the rock interface is a result of the variation of the interface geometry. |
