摘　　要：In many situations rocks are subjected to biaxial loading and the failure process is controlled by the lateral confinement stresses. The importance of confinement stresses has been recognized in the literature by many researchers, in particular, its influence on strength and on the angle of fracture, but still there is not a clear description for the influence of confining stress on the crack propagation mechanism of rocks. This paper presents a numerical procedure for the analysis of crack propagation in rock-like materials under compressive biaxial loads. Several numerical simulations of biaxial tests on the rock specimen have been carried out by a bonded particle model (BPM) and the influence of confinement on the mechanism of crack propagation from a single flaw in rock specimens is studied. For this purpose, several biaxial compressive tests on rectangular specimens under different confinement stresses were modeled in (2 dimensional particle flow code) PFC 2D . The results show that wing cracks initiate perpendicular to the flaw and trend toward the direction of major stress, however, when the lateral stresses increase, this initiation angle gets wider. Also it is concluded that in addition to the material type, the initiation direction of the secondary cracks depends on confinement stresses, too. Besides, it is understood that secondary cracks may be produced from both tensile and shear mechanisms. 关键词：裂纹扩展传播机制裂隙岩石缺陷约束效应数值分析压缩条件约束应力
