Popis: Abstract The deterioration and deformation of brittle rock generally appear in railway tunnels with the operation of large buried deep tunnel. To investigate the macro-micro fracture and acoustic emission evolution characteristics of brittle rock, this paper conducted the uniaxial compression, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and acoustic emission (AE) signal monitoring under different loading rates. The results showed that the loading rate has an obvious enhancement effect on mechanical parameters. The increased loading rate extends the elastic deformation and improves the bearing strength, elastic modulus and deformation modulus. The fracture patterns include shear fracture, composite fracture, and tension fracture. The oblique shear fracture is transformed into composite fracture and tension fracture with the loading rate increasing. The microscopic fracture shows that increasing loading rate inhibits the evolution of oblique shear fractures and promotes the expansion of tensile fractures. The roughness level of tensile fractures is significantly lower than that of oblique shear fracture and composite fracture. The AE parameters and deformation behavior are characterized by simultaneous evolution. The AE amplitude changes from low-level and low-density distribution to high-level and high-density distribution as the loading rate increases. The AE activity intensity of tensile fracture is significantly greater than that of oblique shear fracture and composite fracture. The warning timeliness of cumulative AE events and cumulative AE energy is generally earlier than the AE b-value under the same loading rate, and the early warning timeliness of cumulative AE events is similar to that of cumulative AE energy.
