Mesomechanism of Effects of Water on Strain Rockburst Prevention by Beibei Liu, Fujun Zhao, Qiuhong Wu, Bin Wang, Jianuo Tan, Tao Feng

“…In order to explore the specific influence of water on the change of rock failure mode, a crack propagation model with a single inherent main crack and two wing cracks was established, and the most-easily cracking angle ξ was proposed to analyze the mechanism of the failure mode influenced by different water contents. According to the calculated results of ξ, it was found that when rock is completely dry, the wing crack wing extends towards the loading direction, and ξ is around 90° which mainly induces its splitting failure; conversely, as the water content increases, the wing crack deviates from the loading direction; ξ is around 100° which mainly causes its shear failure. …”
