Abstract
Water effects on the mechanical properties of rocks have been extensively investigated through experi-ments and numerical models.However,few studies have established a comprehensive link between the microscopic mechanisms of water-related micro-crack and the constitutive behaviors of rocks.In this work,we shall propose an extended micromechanical-based plastic damage model for understanding weakening effect induced by the presence of water between micro-crack's surfaces on quasi-brittle rocks,based on the Mori-Tanaka homogenization and irreversible thermodynamics framework.Regarding the physical mechanism,water strengthens micro-crack propagation,which induces damage evolution dur-ing the pre-and post-stage,and weakens the elastic effective properties of rock matrix.After proposing a special calibration procedure for the determination of model parameters based on the laboratory com-pression tests,the proposed micromechanical-based model is verified by comparing the model predic-tions to the experimental results.The model effectively captures the mechanical behaviors of quasi-brittle rocks subjected to the weakening effects of water.
