Numerical Analysis for Shear Behavior of Binary Interfaces under Different Bonded Conditions

Abstract

The shear performance of the binary interface formed by mortar and rock cementation is a key factor influencing the stability and safety of basic engineering projects related to livelihood and economy since concrete has become one of the most widely used materials in engineering. Therefore, it is an urgent practical problem to further explore and clarify the shear failure mechanism of the mortar–rock binary interface. In response to the current research objective focused on fully bonded interfaces, this paper constructed binary interface models with different bonded conditions to perform direct shear experiments using numerical simulation methods, and the effect of bonded conditions on the shear behavior of the mortar–rock binary interface was analyzed. The results indicate that the bonded conditions have a significant influence on the shear mechanical behavior of the mortar–rock binary interface, which is mainly reflected in the stress-displacement curve characteristics, the shear strength, the fracture development and the stress distribution state. The research findings are of great theoretical significance for the further study of shear mechanics at the mortar–rock binary interface and of great practical significance for safe construction, resource conservation and disaster warning.
