A Study of Acoustic Emission and Damage Evolution of Limestone under Different Stress Paths and Confining Pressures by Jianjun Zhao, Xun Wan, Lan Ji, Jinshi Zhu, Xinran Dai, Jun Wang

“…Buried depth is an important factor affecting the deformation and failure of gob surrounding rock. Basing on triaxial compression unloading test and acoustic emission (AE) of limestone under three different initial confining pressures (5 MPa, 10 MPa, and 20 MPa) and three different stress paths, we analyzed the deformation and failure characteristics and energy releasing process of the virgin rock, the gob overburden rock, and the gob sidewall rock with different buried depths (within 1000 m). …”
