深部原位多场环境重构概念下岩石力学行为研究进展

Research progress on rock mechanical behavior under concept of reconstructed deep in-situ multi-physics conditions

  • 摘要: 随着我国地下资源开发需求持续增长,深地力学问题已成为制约矿业、油气、地热等能源工程向地壳更深部拓展的关键因素之一。深部岩石长期赋存于高应力、高孔压、高地温等多场耦合环境中,其物理力学响应受控于原位环境状态。然而,常规岩石力学试验理念与深部岩石的原位环境状态缺乏对应关系,导致其难以揭示深部岩石在原位地层中的本真力学行为。鉴于上述认知空白,系统阐明了深部原位多场环境概念,归纳了基于松辽盆地1 000~6 400 m岩心开展的原位应力、孔压与温度环境重构试验研究,结合数值模拟方法预判了深部岩石在原位应力与孔压重构环境下的应力−应变行为。同时,辅以山东赵楼煤矿800 m煤样的核磁共振试验,验证了深部岩石在变温条件下的多孔介质热力学响应机制。结果表明:原位应力重构试验下,施加与地层等效的时间依赖应力边界可有效抑制原位应力释放对深部岩心的影响,通过促进裂隙闭合与颗粒间接触,提高岩心的结构致密度与承载能力,使其弹性模量与峰值偏应力较常规三轴试验提升约10%,并揭示了原位应力与成岩组分对不同深度岩石力学行为的协同控制作用;原位孔压重构试验下,深部岩心的力学强度在引入原位非均匀孔隙压力后普遍呈下降趋势,且该趋势随深度(围压)的增加而逐渐减弱,表明原位孔压对岩石强度存在削弱效应,但其影响程度受围压条件的约束限制;原位温度重构试验下,煤样与砂岩在室温−原位温度−超原位温度区间中,孔隙率、弹性模量与泊松比均呈先增加后降低的非单调变化规律,验证了深部岩石在室温至原位温度区间内的多孔介质热弹性恢复机制,仅在超原位温度条件下存在明显的热损伤与热塑性行为。结果表明:原位环境重构方法可通过在试验尺度上模拟原位边界条件,有效降低因试验边界失配导致的力学响应偏差。在此基础上,构建了面向深部固体资源开采的“重构−变载−响应”3阶段试验方法,将原位环境重构作为试验基准,将环境变载视为开采扰动过程的中间变量,在变载诱发的时空耦合路径中解析深部岩石从原位稳定状态到扰动失稳破坏的全过程响应机制。以此为深地资源开发中的岩石力学参数同步测试、稳定性评价与灾变机理识别提供可拓展的试验途径。

     

    Abstract: With the increasing demand for underground resources in China, deep geomechanical issues have become a critical constraint on the advancement of mining, oil, gas, and geothermal engineering into the deeper crust. Deep rocks are typically subjected to coupled in-situ multi-physics conditions, characterized by high stress, high pore pressure, and high temperature. Their mechanical behavior is therefore governed by the in-situ conditions. However, the conventional concept of rock mechanical experiments lacks correspondence with the in-situ conditions, making it difficult to reveal their intrinsic mechanical behavior. To address this gap, the concept of deep in-situ multi-physics conditions is introduced, and a series of stress-, pore pressure-, and temperature-reconstructed experiments on 1 000–6 400 m cores from the Songliao Basin are summarized. Stress–strain responses under reconstructed stress and pore pressure conditions are further predicted through numerical modeling. In addition, NMR experiments on 800 m coal samples from the Zhaolou Coal Mine in Shandong Province are used to validate the thermally induced response mechanisms of porous media under variable temperature conditions. The results show that: under in-situ stress-reconstructed experiments, applying time-dependent stress boundaries equivalent to the in-situ conditions can effectively suppress stress release effects in deep cores. This procedure promotes microcrack closure and intergranular contact, thereby enhancing structural compactness and load-bearing capacity. Compared to conventional triaxial experiments, the elastic modulus and peak deviatoric stress increase by approximately 10%, and the results further highlight the interplay between in-situ stress and diagenetic composition on the mechanical behavior of rocks at different depths. Under in-situ pore pressure-reconstructed experiments, the introduction of non-uniform pore pressure generally leads to a reduction in mechanical strength, with this weakening effect diminishing with increasing depth (confining stress). This suggests that in-situ pore pressure exerts a weakening influence on rock strength, though its magnitude is constrained by the confining stress. Under in-situ temperature-reconstructed experiments, coal and sandstone samples exhibit a non-monotonic variation in porosity, elastic modulus, and Poisson’s ratio across the temperature range from room to in-situ and over-in-situ conditions. These results confirm a thermoelastic recovery mechanism within the room-to-in-situ temperature range, with noticeable thermo-damage and thermo-plastic behavior occurring only beyond the in-situ temperature threshold. Overall, these findings demonstrate that in-situ condition reconstructions offer reliable methods for restoring in-situ boundaries at the laboratory scale, thereby effectively reducing the mechanical deviation caused by the mismatch of experimental boundaries. Based on this, a three-stage experimental approach, including “Reconstruction-Variable Loading-Response,” is proposed for deep solid resource development. In this framework, reconstructed in-situ conditions serve as the experimental baseline, while conditional variable loading acts as the intermediate process linking engineering disturbances to rock mechanical responses. This path-dependent approach enables the characterization of deep rock behavior across the full transition from stable in-situ states to disturbed and unstable failure regimes, providing an expandable experimental methodology for synchronized parameter testing, stability evaluation, and failure mechanism identification in the development of deep underground resources.
