【 摘 要 】

In order to study the effect of interlayer thickness on the deformation and strength characteristics of interbedded sandstone under load, uniaxial compression and conventional triaxial compression tests were carried out on four interbedded medium-grained sandstone samples with different interlayer thickness, accounting for different proportions of the total height of the sample (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%). The samples were from the Shendong Mining Area and investigated using an RMT-150C rock mechanics test system. Then the stress–strain curve characteristics, strength characteristics, and failure characteristics of the interbedded medium-grained sandstone with different interlayer thickness were analyzed, and the applicability of Mohr–Coulomb strength criterion and Rocker criterion to interbedded medium-grained sandstone with different interlayer thickness was evaluated. The research results show that, as the thickness of the interlayer gradually increases, the uniaxial compressive strength of the sandstone containing the interlayer first decreases and then increases; as the thickness of the interlayer increases, the elastic modulus of the sandstone containing the interlayer gradually decreases, and the peak strain increases gradually; the thickness of the interlayer has little effect on the triaxial compressive strength of the sandstone containing the interlayer. When the thickness of the interlayer is small, the deviation of the fitted uniaxial compressive strength of the Rocker strength criterion is relatively small, and the applicability is good; the prediction result of the uniaxial compressive strength of the Mohr–Coulomb strength criterion is better; for the tensile strength of the interlayer rock, the Rocker strength criterion has good applicability. The existence of the interlayer hinders the development of medium-grained sandstone cracks, but this effect is weakened with the increasing thickness of the interlayer. The research results are helpful to further reveal the movement law of overlying rocks in Shendong mining area, and provide basic parameters for related research.
