Model Loading System For Similar Material

Main Function:

Applying uniform three-dimensional stress to similar material to simulate the three-dimensional stresses in deep rock masses.The model helps to provide stable loading under simulated excavation  and helps in the study of good boundary condition retention capability during unstable physical simulation.

  1. Simulate stress under deep rock masses. Vertical load simulates the weight exerted by deep rock masses, while the bi-directional perpendicular horizontal load simulate the stresses from another two axis to realize three-dimensional stress simulation.
  2. Underground engineering construction process includes the simulation of the mechanical effect of the interaction of various engineering structures such as roadways, tunnels, subways, tunnels, small-scale stopes, etc.
  3. Able to carry out a high-stress support stability simulation testing.
  4. Simulation test of tunneling (tunnel) driving blasting technology under real ground stress
  5. Simulation of surrounding rock deformation on roadway with geological structure and joint
