Geomechanical models of shear fracture of multi-layer rocks

The strength and fracture of multi-layer rocks such as shale, clay stone, etc. are studied. The strength and fracture criteria are developed in two variants as a modification of the Mohr theory. The first variant generalizes the linear law of Coulomb in the form of a linear Mohr’s envelope, which is assumed as a parabolic curve in the second variant. A series of problems on strength of multi-layer rocks in different stress conditions is solved. The multi-layer rocks are formed in compaction of alternate layers during many-centuries sedimentation. The multi-layer rocks occur at various depths mainly in the conditions of three-axial nonuniform stress state. Occurrence conditions of multi-layer rocks such as shale and clay stone govern variability of their properties in different directions. Designing of underground structures in alternate-layer rocks involves determination of local stresses, and the stability of the structures is tested using the relevant strength criteria.

Keywords: rock stratification, geomechanical model, core, strength criteria, sample testing, degree of anisotropy, Brazilian test, borehole stability.
