Fractal Study on the Failure Evolution of Concrete Material with Single Flaw Based on DIP Technique by Lulin Zheng, Hao Liu, Yujun Zuo, Quanping Zhang, Wei Lin, Qing Qiu, Xiaorong Liu, Ziqi Liu

“…Crack inclination and material heterogeneity have important effects on the meso-mechanical mechanism and macroscopic mechanical behavior of rock-like materials. In order to study the failure characteristics of shotcrete body during the process of using shotcrete bolt mesh support in the deep fractured rock mass of Lannigou Gold Mine, this paper combined the Digital Image Processing Technique (DIP) and RFPA2D (Rock Failure Process Analysis System) to establish a real meso-structure numerical model of concrete with different inclination angle cracks, simulating its crack propagation law and failure process, and studied the influence of crack geometry distribution and meso-heterogeneity on the effect of concrete structure. …”
