Experimental Research on Brittleness and Rockburst Proneness of Three Kinds of Hard Rocks under Uniaxial Compression by Rongchao Xu, Yiding Jin, Yumin Zhang

“…The acoustic emission evolution characteristics of the three rocks during uniaxial compression were analyzed, and the differences of fracture mechanism of the three rocks were compared. The results show that (1) based on the brittleness evaluation index, basalt is the most brittle rock, followed by granite, and marble is the weakest; (2) based on the rockburst proneness evaluation index, combined with the macroscopic failure phenomenon and morphology of the samples, the rockburst proneness of basalt is the strongest, followed by granite, and marble is the weakest; (3) there exists a positive correlation between rockburst proneness and brittleness, and the fitting results show that they are approximately exponential; and (4) brittleness has an important influence on the rock fracture mechanism. …”
