Abstract

Backfill is widely used in underground mines around the world for its effective reduction in environmental impact of mining operations by utilizing a part of mine waste as underground backfill material. The strength of backfill plays a critical role in improving stop stability and preventing surface subsidence. In this paper, a series of SHPB (Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) tests with different strain rates and static axial pressures are conducted. The results show that: (1) The dynamic strength of the backfill specimen increases first and then decreases with the increase of static axial pressure. It reaches a maximum when the static axial pressure reaches 30% of the static compressive strength in the SHPB test. (2) The stress-strain curves of backfill specimens can be divided into three stages: elastic stage, yield stage and failure stage. The compaction stage is obscure. The backfill specimens are not sensitive at low strain rate. (3) With the increase of incident energy, the absorbed energy mounts. (4) The failure mode of the backfill specimen is tensile failure when static axial pressure is 0MPa in the SHPB test while it becomes compression shear failure when static axial pressure is higher than 0MPa. (5) The backfill specimen is very compressed when it is loaded with axial stress and confining stress simultaneously. This compression property of backfill specimen may be related to the nature of hydration products at different curing times, which requires further research in the future.

1. Introduction

Backfill is widespread used in underground mines due to its effective decrease in environmental impact of mining operations with the help of underground backfill material [1-4]. With low economic values, mining wastes (mainly tailings) take up large areas of land to store [5], leading to soil pollution, which can be solved by making them backfill materials [6-8]. Moreover, they can also improve stope stability and prevent surface subsidence [9-11].

The strength of backfill is the key to improve stope stability and prevent surface subsidence [12,13]. The strength of backfill is constantly changing due to such factors as curing age and composition [14-16]. At present, nearly all studies on the mechanical properties of backfill mainly focus on the statics properties [17-19]. For example, Shuai Cao conducted numerous uniaxial compression experiments and defined the strength reduction coefficient [20]. Alireza indicated the basic characteristics of backfill mechanics [21,22]. The effect of temperature and different aggregates on the early compressive strength of backfill is investigated by Nasir and Fall [23]. Furthermore, the mixing time may also affect the compressive strength of backfill [24,25], which changes with the variation in rate of loading. The compressive strength of the backfill increases with increasing loading rate [26,27]. Some scholars also conducted experiments such as creep, loading and unloading, stress-seepage coupling to investigate the characteristics of backfill mechanics [28-32]. These research results mainly focus on the statics properties. The stability of backfill is also affected by earthquakes, blasts, and rock bursts. However, there are a few research carried out about the dynamic properties. Only a few scholars have conducted relevant research. For example, Dong [33] conducted an on-site blasting vibration test and studied the damage principle of backfill at blasting vibration. Xiang Zhi et al. analyzed the deformation and damage characteristics of different proportions of backfill [34]. Shuai Cao investigated dynamic responses of backfill at SHPB compression load [35]. Liu et al. [36] analyzed the dynamic responses of it made of superfine tailings. The damage characteristics and dynamic responses have been analyzed. However, the lateral pressure has not been considered by these researchers. Figure 1 shows the backfill in underground stope. The backfill withstand lateral pressure caused by the backfill gravity and varied with different heights. Therefore, the strength, damage characteristics and dynamic responses of backfill will be different at different heights under lateral pressure, which requires further research.

There are many studies on the static mechanics of backfill, but few researches on the dynamic characteristics of backfill. It is of great significance to carry out the research on its dynamic characteristics. Accurately grasping the dynamic characteristics of backfill has important theoretical significance and engineering value for improving the stope stability and preventing surface subsidence. In this paper, the backfill is taken as the research object. With different strain rates and axial pressures used to replace the lateral pressure, a series of SHPB (Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) tests were conducted. Analyses were made in such aspects as the deformation characteristics, strength, principle of energy transfer, failure mode of backfill at one-dimensional dynamic and static combination loading.

2. Materials and methods

2.1 Specimen preparation

Backfill specimens are composed of ordinary Portland cement P.O. 32.5, tap water, and classifying tailings. The tailings are iron tailings. The particle size distribution of the classifying tailings is shown in Figure 2. The cumulative content of fine particles () is 6.49% which is up to the quality standards. In addition, the content of clay particles () is 2.65% which has little impact on the quality of backfill specimens. The microstructure and microanalysis of tailings are provided in Figure 3. The tailings surface is coarse that facilitates the formation of voids. The elements composition of the tailings are shown in Table 1 where SiO2 is the most dominant mineral in the iron tailings. Moreover it also contains some Al2O3 and Fe3O4. The chemical components of Portland cement P.O. 32.5 are shown in Table 2.

2.2 SHPB tests equipment

Split Hopkinson pressure bars (SHPBs) are widely used to investigate the dynamic characteristics of different materials of which most of them are concrete and rock materials [37,38]. There is an extensive application about this method [39-43]. The SHPB device needed in the tests is shown in Figure 6 while the schematic view of it is shown in Figure 7. With various axial pressure and confining pressure, the SHPB device is able to apply different dynamic loads to specimens, which is a prerequisite for the tests. The bullet, transmission rod and incident rod used in this device are all made of 45GrNiMoVA alloy steel with high strength. The diameter, elastic modulusis, Poisson's ratio and density are respectively 50mm, 206GPa, 7800Kg/m3, and 0.27. Beyond all that, the lengths of the transmission rod, the incident rod, and the bullet are 1.50m, 2.00m, 0.50m and 0.36m, respectively. Special-shaped bullet is used in the launch cavity to reduce PC oscillation and meet the requirements of half-sine wave loading. Ultra dynamic strain gauge is used for collecting data while DL-750 oscilloscope for displaying waveform and JXCS-02 chronograph for timing.

2.3 Principle of combined dynamic and static loading

Figure 8 shows the deformation and stress in the elastic rod at combined loads. With the density and elastic modulus of the cylindrical rod unchanged, the yield strength of axial load is less than that of elastic rod. Assuming that the length-to-diameter ratio of the elastic rod is large enough and the cross section of the rod is always flat when the dynamic load being loaded, the relationship between the deformation and force of the micro-element under the combination of Pas and Pd can be obtained as equation (1)

where is the density of the elastic rod, is the cross-sectional area of the elastic rod, is the displacement of the micro-element at the after the force being loaded.

According to the definition of stress, strain and Hook's law, we can get equations (2)-(4)

3. Results

3.1 Strength analysis

First, the static load test of the backfill specimens is conducted. The uniaxial compressive strength of the backfill specimens is measured and shown in Table 3.

Table 3. Uniaxial compressive strength of the backfill specimens at 14 days
Number Uniaxial compressive strength(MPa) Average(MPa)
1 3.54 3.56
2 3.35
3 3.62
4 3.72


Figure 9 shows the dynamic strength of the backfill specimens under different static axial pressure. It can be seen that the dynamic strength of the backfill specimen is higher than the static uniaxial compressive strength. Moreover, with the increase of static axial pressure, the dynamic strength rises first and then decreases. The loaded stress wave will be reflected at the crack inside the backfill specimen and a tensile wave will be generated to expand the crack as the test is conducted. When a small static axial load is applied, the cracks inside the backfill specimen are compacted . Therefore, the dynamic strength of the backfill specimen rises with the increase of static axial pressure first. When the static axial pressure keeps mounting, damage occurs inside the backfill specimen and new cracks are generated. The stress wave generates a tensile wave within new and old crack, resulting in further crack extension and reduction of dynamic strength of the backfill specimen.

Figure 12 shows stress-strain curves of backfill specimens at similar strain rate. The curve paths of the stress-strain curves in the elastic phase are basically same when the strain rate is about 60 s-1. When the strain rate increases by 90s-1 and 135s-1, a significant change occurs, which indicates that the backfill specimens are not sensitive at low strain rate.

3.3 Principle of energy transfer

Figure 13 shows relationship of sum of transmitted energy with incident energy. What can be concluded that the sum of reflected energy and transmitted energy first increase continuously with the increasing incident energy, and then stabilize gradually.

Figure 14 demonstrates the relationship of absorbed energy with incident energy. The absorbed energy increases with incident energy and the increase speed keeps accelerating after reaching a certain level.

Figure 15 shows the relationship of ratio of transmitted energy to incident energy vs. incident energy. A result can be drawn that the ratio of transmitted energy to incident energy decreases with the increase of incident energy, indicating that the increment of transmission energy decreases gradually for the reason that most of the energy is absorbed to destroy the backfill specimen when the incident energy increases.

3.4 Failure Mode

Fig.16, 17 and 18 show the failure modes of the backfill specimens when the static axial pressure is 0MPa, 1.15MPa and 2.30MPa at different strain rates. Fig.16 indicates that the backfill specimens form a fracture surface parallel to the longitudinal direction of the it. It is lateral tensile failure when static axial pressure is 0MPa in the SHPB test. Fig.17 and 18 indicate that the failure modes are compression shear failure when static axial pressure is 1.15MPa or 2.3MPa in the SHPB test.

4. Discussion

Most backfill is composed of tailings and cement. The surface of the tailings particles is coarse and is shown in Fig.3. Fig.19 [45] evidently shows that the voids are easily formed between tailings particles and they will lead to compressibility of backfill specimen. Therefore, there is a compression phase stress-strain curve of backfill specimens at static loading as shown in Fig.20. The stress reaches about 30% of the peak stress, when the compression phase ends. At this point, the stress is about 1.15MPa, which gives an explanation why the dynamic strength of backfill specimen is greatest when static axial pressure is 1.15MPa in the SHPB test. With the backfill specimens compressed, the voids inside the specimens become smaller and then the cracks consisting of voids are closed. The reflection effect of stress wave on crack is reduced and the dynamic strength of backfill specimen increases. If the static axial pressure continues to increase, new cracks will occur while the dynamic strength of the backfill specimen will decrease.

The backfill specimen is greatly compressed when it is loaded with axial stress and confining stress simultaneously in the SHBP test. The result is shown in Fig.21. It can be seen that the backfill specimen is not destroyed at high strain rates in the SHBP test. It would be destroyed, if the rock was compressed like the backfill specimen in Fig.21. This compression property of the backfill specimen may be related to the nature of the hydration products at different curing times. It requires further research in the future.

Fig.21. The compressed backfill specimen

Fig.11 shows stress-strain curves of backfill specimens under different static axial pressure. It can be divided into three stages: elastic stage, yield stage and failure stage. The compaction stage is not obvious. The backfill specimen deforms immediately when the static axial pressure is 0MPa. There is no obvious compression phase due to an instant compaction of the internal micro-cracks. When a certain static axial pressure is loaded, the micro-cracks inside the backfill specimen have been compacted, so there is also no compression phase. The initial phase of the stress-strain curve is approximately a straight line, which is in line with Hooke's law. This phase is so called elastic phase. Then, the stress-strain curve shifts, resulting from the failure of backfill specimen, the rapid expansion of the crack, and the decrease in the compression rate. At this point, the backfill specimen undergoes plastic deformation, that is to say, the yield phase. With the expansion and penetration of micro-cracks, dominant cracks are generated inside the backfill specimen. Then macro-damage occurs, known as the failure phase. The nature of the hydration product may explain why the backfill specimens are not sensitive at low strain rate, which requires further research.

The incident energy increases with the increasing strain rate while the absorbed energy increases with incident energy. The speed increase is accelerated before reaching a certain level. Because most of the energy is absorbed to destroy the backfill specimen.

The backfill specimen generates lateral tensile failure when static axial pressure is 0MPa in the SHPB test. It form a fracture surface parallel to the longitudinal direction of the backfill specimens and it generates tensile failure along the longitudinal direction under the influence of Poisson effect. The broken block size of backfill specimen becomes smaller and its quantity mounts when the strain rate increases. However, it can still be observed from the shape of the fragment that the fracture surface is mainly parallel to the length direction of the backfill specimen. What can be concluded that it is still lateral tensile failure. The failure mode is compression shear failure when static axial pressure is 1.15MPa or 2.3MPa in the SHPB test. Before the occurrence of stress concentration, the ends of specimen generate end effects at the static axial pressure. A compression zone is formed at both ends of the specimen. Potential shear failure surface occurs inside the specimen. The crack will propagate along the potential shear failure surface when dynamic load is applied. Eventually a macro damage surface is formed, as shown in Fig.17 and Fig.18. The application of static axial pressure has a significant influence on the failure mode of backfill specimen. However, the failure modes of backfill specimens all belong to compression shear failure with the static axial pressure applied. The magnitude of static axial pressure only works in the fragmentation of backfill specimens.

5. Conclusion

(1) The dynamic strength of the backfill specimen increases first and then decreases with the increase of static axial pressure. It becomes the maximal when the static axial pressure reaches 30% of the static compressive strength in the SHPB test. Besides, it increases with the increasing strain rate under different axial pressures.

(2) The stress-strain curves of backfill specimens can be divided into three stages: elastic stage, yield stage and failure stage. The compaction stage is not obvious. In addition to, the backfill specimens are not sensitive at low strain rate.

(3) The sum of reflected energy and transmitted energy first increases continuously with the increase of incident energy, and then stabilizes. The absorbed energy increases with the increase of incident energy and the speed increase is accelerated after reaching a certain extent.

(4) The failure mode belongs to tensile failure when static axial pressure is 0MPa while it transforms into compression shear failure when static axial pressure is higher than 0MPa in the SHPB test.

(5) With backfill specimen loaded with axial stress and confining stress simultaneously, the backfill specimen will be compressed greatly. This compression property of the backfill specimen may be related to the nature of the hydration products at different curing times. It requires further research in the future.
