摘要
The fatigue crack propagation of the composite rock-concrete interface under constant-amplitude flexural fatigue loading below the initial cracking load was investigated in the present study. Fatigue pre-crack initiation and propagation tests were first conducted on three types of rock-concrete interfaces under three-point bend loading. It was shown that for the rock-concrete interface, the damage evolution throughout the fatigue loading process can be divided into deceleration and acceleration stages according to the rate curves of flexural stiffness, deformation and crack propagation. The crack propagation rate exhibited two distinct regions when plotted on a log scale, namely the small-crack growth region and the long-crack growth region. The small-crack growth region for the studied rock-concrete interfaces was not particularly pronounced. The long-crack growth region was the Paris' law region and included both the acceleration and part of the deceleration stages. Based on the experimental results, the fatigue crack propagation rate in the Paris' law region was then described using the empirical Paris' law. The exponent m1 in the Paris' law was found to be approximately constant, with a value of m1 approximate to 21 for the rock-concrete interface. The pre-factor C1 was found to be dependent on both the load ratio R and the type of the rock-concrete interface (represented by an elastic mismatch parameter alpha). By introducing R and alpha into the empirical Paris' law, an adjusted Paris' law was proposed. The adjusted Paris' law can describe the fatigue crack propagation rate in a unified way for the same rock-concrete interface of different R and different interfaces in the scope of this research. Based on the adjusted Paris' law, the fatigue cycles during the crack propagation and fatigue lifetimes of all tested rock-concrete interface specimens were reasonably predicted. For practical applications, an approach was suggested involving a combination of the adjusted Paris' law and a material coefficient beta (approximately beta approximate to 0.143 in this study) to estimate the fatigue lifetimes of structures or specimens with existing pre-cracks at the rock-concrete interface.
