Abstract
An experimental system for simulating the effect of a fault stick-slip displacement on a tunnel engineering includes a model box system and a stick-slip loading system. The model box system is configured to simulate an interaction between two walls of a fault. The stick-slip loading system includes a first loading assembly, a second loading assembly and a bearing assembly. The first loading assembly includes a first loading device, and a first sample frame configured to place a main loading rock mass sample. The bearing assembly is arranged on two sides of the first sample frame. Sub-loading rock mass samples borne by the bearing assembly are configured to abut against the main loading rock mass sample under the action of the second loading assembly. A method for simulating the effect of a fault stick-slip displacement on a tunnel engineering based on the above system is further provided.
