Investigation of Damage and Creep for Bedding’s Carbonaceous Slate with Chemical Erosion Effect

) decreases with the decrease of the bedding angle and the increase of erosion days, and the failure modes of the specimens are mainly controlled by oblique shear fractures and accompanied by the occurrence of slip dislocation fractures between the bedding inclination. Under creep conditions with 40 MPa of confining pressures, the final deformations of specimens are increasing with the increase of erosion days, which means the longer the erosion days, the greater the deformations. The failure modes of the specimens under creep conditions are controlled by shear fractures, and for the specimen with a 60° bedding angle and long-term erosion, there are block separations and many cavities along the shear planes. Therefore, more attention should be paid to prevent serious failure of the surrounding rock if the surrounding rock has a bedding angle of 60° or suffers long-term erosion.
