Brittleness is of great significance for evaluating the mechanical properties of the slope rock in reservoir area and revealing the brittle failure mechanism of the rocks.Although a series of def-initions of the brittleness and evaluation methods of brittleness index have been proposed,there is still lack of a widely recognized and remarkable standards in these aspects due to the differences in diage-netic process,depositional environment and mineral composition.The previous methods to quantitive-ly estimate the rock brittleness based on energy balance analysis are summarized,which neglect multi-ple influencing factors of the rock brittleness,such as the weight of pre-peak or post-peak mechanical behaviors on the prediction performance of the brittleness index.Based on the typical curves about stress and strain,the relationships between the brittle failure behaviors and the energy evolutions are comprehensively analyzed,then a new method for assessing the brittleness is proposed.Based on pre-peak brittleness index to represent brittle property at pre-peak stage and post-peak brittleness index to determine brittle characteristic at post-peak stage,a new brittleness index is established by additive synthesis method in consideration of the weight of brittleness indexes before and after peak strength,and either of the two brittleness indexes can be punished or compensated by setting different parame-ter values.The results indicate that the proposed brittleness index can represent the brittle change laws for different rock types when a≤0.5,β ≥ 0.5.When evaluating the brittleness of the slope rock in Three Gorges Reservoir(TGR)area,the results show that the rock brittleness in the slope affects the stability of the slope.Therefore,the novel evaluation method can provide reliable results,and the proposed brit-tleness index considering the energy evolution can be applied to assess the brittle property in the reser-voir bank project.
