description | The back-filling body in the gob-side entry retaining is subject to continuous disturbance due to repeated mining. In this study, uniaxial and cyclical loading tests of back-filling concrete samples were carried out under laboratory conditions to study damage evolution characteristics with respect to microscopic hydration, deformation properties, and energy evolution. The results showed that, due to the difference in the gradation of coarse and fine aggregates, the cemented structure was relatively loose, and the primary failure modes under cyclical loading were tensile and shearing failure, which significantly decreased its strength. With an increasing number of loadings, a hysteresis loop appeared for the axial strain, and the area showed a pattern of decrease–stabilization–increase. This trend, to a certain extent, reflected the evolution of the cracks in the back-filling concrete samples. The axial, radial, and volumetric plastic strain curves of the back-filling concrete samples showed a “U” shape. The plastic strain changed in three stages, i.e., a rapid decrease, stabilization, and a rapid increase. A damage parameter was defined according to the plastic strain increment to accurately characterize the staged failure of the samples. The plastic strain and energy dissipation of the samples were precursors to sample failure. Prior to the failure of the back-filling samples, the amount and speed of change of both the plastic strain and energy parameters increased significantly. Understanding the characteristics of plastic strain, damage evolution, and energy dissipation rate of the back-filling samples are of great reference value for realizing real-time monitoring of back-filling concrete in the gob-side entry retaining and providing early warning of failure. |
