Study on Mechanical Properties of Ring Sandstone Specimen under Temperature and Water Coupling Dynamic Compression

The excavation of hard rock roadways in coal mines is often in the environment of underground water and high ground temperature, and it is easy to be affected by the dynamic load, which leads to roadway destruction and increases the difficulty of roadway support. The ring sandstone specimens with different inner diameters (0 similar to 25 mm) were treated with temperature and water coupled, and the dynamic compression test was produced by the Hopkinson pressure rod device (SHPB). The experimental results indicate that the coupling effect of temperature and water reduces the dynamic performance of sandstone specimens. XRD test results showed that the composition of sandstone specimens did not change before and after warm water coupling, and no new substances were found. Dynamic properties of ring sandstone specimens with different inner diameters weaken with the increase in inner diameters. With the increasing inner diameter of ring sandstone specimens, the energy dissipation per unit volume increases the dynamic compressive strength decreases, and the degree of breakage increases. Fracture morphology, average strain rate, and dynamic peak strain of ring sandstone specimens increase with inner diameter.
