<abstract>
<p>In order to explore the deterioration mechanism of mechanical properties of phosphate rock under different saturation time, the degradation mechanism of phosphoric rock samples under different saturation duration was analyzed by laboratory test, theoretical analysis and neural network modeling, and the results is as follows: saturation of water will result in deterioration of mechanical properties of samples. The peak compressive strength and peak strain of the samples decreased gradually with the increase of saturation time. The average peak strength of 12, 24, and 36 h saturated specimens is 8.6%, 21.1%, and 32.2% lower than that of natural specimens, and the peak strain is 5.9%, 13.9%, and 31.3% lower, respectively. The stress-strain curves of the samples with water saturation for 36&#x00a0;h have more jitter stages after the peak, indicating that the plastic characteristics of the samples will be increased with water saturation for a long time. The neural network method was used to analyze the test parameters and the mechanical parameters of the samples, and the mechanical properties under the action of saturated water and confining pressure were obtained. The neural network model was established to represent the mechanical properties of the samples, and the average accuracy of the model was 0.89. The model can be used to predict and verify the mechanical properties of samples under other saturation and confining pressure conditions in the limited region. The research results can provide theoretical reference for the deterioration mechanism of confining pressure in water-rich roadway.</p>

<title>1 Introduction</title>
<p>The phenomenon of water gushing often occurs in the process of roadway excavation in a mine in Yunnan Province. Soaking and saturation will result in deterioration of mechanical properties of rock mass, thus increasing the difficulty of tunneling and support (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">Liu et al., 2023a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">Liu et al., 2023b</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">Liu et al., 2023c</xref>). Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the deterioration mechanism of rock mechanical properties under different saturation duration conditions.</p>
<p>Many scholars at home and abroad have done a lot of research on the water deterioration mechanism of rock (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">Ni et al., 2005</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">Wood, 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">Ma et al., 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">Wang et al., 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">Wang et al., 2023a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">Wang et al., 2023b</xref>). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">Feng et al. (2022)</xref> explored the instability fracture characteristics of red sandstone samples under different water-bearing states under the combination of static and dynamic states through laboratory tests, and concluded that the mechanical response of natural sandstone samples was typical characteristic of rock burst, while the mechanical response of saturated sandstone samples was mainly reflected in the degree of rock sample fragmentation. In the study on the changes of rock mechanical properties and meso-structural characteristics under water saturation, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">Zhao (2022)</xref> conducted triaxial compression and scanning electron microscope tests under different confining pressures and water saturation conditions, and concluded that with the increase of water saturation, the mechanical properties of sandstone continue to decline, the water saturation deterioration effect of sandstone is significant, and the water saturation effect promotes the development of microcracks. Water and rock sample volume have obvious influences on physical mechanics and deformation characteristics of sandstone. Through experiments, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">Wang et al. (2019)</xref> concluded that: the elastic modulus and deformation modulus of sandstones are negatively correlated with the rock sample volume. The Poisson&#x2019;s ratio of dry sandstones increases with the increase of rock sample volume, while that of saturated sandstones increases first with the increase of rock sample volume and then becomes stable. The presence of water has no obvious effect on the failure morphology of rock sample under uniaxial compression. In the study on deformation characteristics of saturated rock mass in cold region, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">Jia et al. (2023)</xref> pointed out that the freeze-thaw strain characteristic values of saturated rock are related to fracture length, width and rock lithology, and that freeze-thaw failure of fractured rock is a process of gradual accumulation of residual strain. Water environments (water content, osmotic water pressure), loading rates, generalized stress relaxation have obvious deterioration effects on the aging characteristics of rock. Considering the aging characteristics of surrounding rock under the action of water environment, it is of great significance for the long-term stability control of tunnel (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">Chen, 2021</xref>). By studying the tensile strength and failure mechanism of rock damaged by hydrothermal coupling at different loading rates, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">Wang et al. (2020)</xref> pointed out that the indirect tensile strength of water-saturated sandstone specimens was lower than that of dry specimens, and the strain rate dependence of water-saturated rock samples was stronger than that of dry rock. A large number of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) signals are released in the loading failure process of water-bearing fractured rock mass, which can provide certain guidance for the monitoring and warning of related geological disasters. Related research results showed that compared with dry rock samples, saturated rock samples had lower compressive strength, earlier cracking time, more complex failure mode, and lower proportion of high frequency signal of saturated rock samples than dry rock samples (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Shen et al., 2021</xref>).</p>
<p>In recent years, neural network model has been widely used in rock mechanics research experiments (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">Zhang et al., 1991</xref>). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">Chen (2022)</xref> proposed an acoustic emission positioning method that combines spectrum analysis and convolutional neural network without the need for wave velocity model and time pick, which effectively improves the acoustic emission positioning accuracy and avoids the shortcomings of traditional positioning methods, providing a new idea for rock acoustic emission positioning. By introducing BP neural network, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">Chen (2022)</xref> took drilling experiment data import as the input layer and rock mechanics parameters as the output layer. Through the prediction of composite samples, the prediction accuracy of the trained BP neural network model on rock mechanics parameters and the identification ability of rock interface were verified. By establishing the fracture network topography prediction model based on artificial neural network under the influence of multiple factors, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">Feng (2021)</xref> sorted the factors affecting the results of shale fracture network topography, providing a new idea to solve the environmental problems in shale gas exploitation.</p>
<p>The above scholars have done a lot of research on the water-bearing deterioration mechanism of rocks and reached a lot of conclusions, but there are few studies on the deterioration law of rock mechanical properties under different water-saturation duration (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">Zhang et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">Wu et al., 2021</xref>). Therefore, triaxial compression test were carried out on phosphate rock in this paper to explore the changes of mechanical properties of rock under three conditions of 12, 24 and 36&#xa0;h. On this basis, the neural network method was used to analyze the test parameters and sample mechanical parameters. The discrete data points were extended to the continuous definition domain on the number line, and the neural network model based on multi-layer perceptron was established, in order to provide theoretical reference for the excavation and support of water-rich roadway in a Yunnan mine.</p>

<p>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3</xref> shows the stress-strain curves of the samples in the conventional triaxial compression test. As can be seen from <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3</xref>, the variation of stress-strain curve of samples of each group roughly went through four stages: compaction, elasticity, yield and failure. 1) Compaction stage: the original cracks inside the sample were compacted to form nonlinear compression deformation; 2) Elastic stage: the stress-strain curve was basically linear, obeying Hooke&#x2019;s law; 3) Yield stage: as the axial stress continues to load, the material with low strength inside the sample first enters the yield failure stage, the stress-strain curve deviated from the straight line, and the increased rate of axial stress gradually decreases; 4) Failure stage: when the sample reached the ultimate strength, the bearing capacity of the sample decreased rapidly with the increase of deformation, and the deformation damage of the sample was further aggravated.</p>
<p>Observe the peak stress of samples in each group in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3</xref>. For Group A, the peak strength of the sample is 169.9&#xa0;MPa when the confining pressure is 4&#xa0;MPa. When the confining pressure is 6, 8, 10 and 12&#xa0;MPa, the peak strength of each sample increases by 18.7%, 38.1%, 60.9%, and 87.1%, respectively. For Group B, the peak strength of the samples is 151.2&#xa0;MPa when the confining pressure is 4&#xa0;MPa. When the confining pressure is 6, 8, 10 and 12&#xa0;MPa, the peak strength of each sample increases by 25.4%, 41.1%, 67.0%, and 90.0%, respectively. For Group C, the peak strength of the samples is 84.17&#xa0;MPa when the confining pressure is 4&#xa0;MPa. When the confining pressure is 6, 8, 10 and 12&#xa0;MPa, the peak strength of each sample increases by 17.6%, 39.7%, 70.1%, and 97.8%, respectively. For Group D, the peak strength of the samples is 91.5&#xa0;MPa when the confining pressure is 4&#xa0;MPa. When the confining pressure is 6, 8, 10 and 12&#xa0;MPa, the peak strength of each sample increases by 41.9%, 63.3%, 127.0%, and 154.7%, respectively.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the transverse comparison of samples of each group shows that the peak strength of samples in Group A (239.5&#xa0;MPa) is the largest, and the average peak strength of samples in Group B (218.8&#xa0;MPa), Group C (189.1&#xa0;MPa), and Group D (162.3&#xa0;MPa) under different confining pressures is 8.6%, 21.1%, and 32.2% lower than that of Group A, respectively. The peak strain of samples in Group A (1.89&#xd7;10<sup>&#x2212;2</sup>) is the largest, and the average peak strain of samples in Group B (1.78&#xd7;10<sup>&#x2212;2</sup>), Group C (1.63&#xd7;10<sup>&#x2212;2</sup>), and Group D (1.30&#xd7;10<sup>&#x2212;2</sup>) under different confining pressures is 5.9%, 13.9%, and 31.3% lower than that of Group A, respectively, indicating that saturation of water has an obvious deterioration effect on samples.</p>
<p>According to Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion, the maximum shear stress of the sample bearing is determined by cohesion and internal friction Angle, which can be expressed as (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">Wei et al., 2020</xref>):<disp-formula id="e1">

<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Figure 5</xref> shows that the peak strain and peak strength prediction results obtained by the neural network model of the multilayer perceptron are highly similar to the original restoration results, while the difference between the peak modulus prediction results and the original data is more obvious. In order to analyze the fitting degree of the model in detail, the residual coefficients and correlation coefficients of the prediction results of the three dependent variables need to be calculated.

<title>4.2 Neural network model prediction</title>
<p>The above calculation results show that the saturation time and confining pressure have little effect on the elastic modulus, so only the peak strain and peak strength are predicted in continuous intervals below. The discrete input factors of saturation time and confinement pressure were extended into a continuous domain and imported into the trained multi-layer perceptron neural network model for prediction, and 444 sets of predicted values were obtained. Among them, the saturation time was extended from 0, 12, 24, and 36 groups to a continuous interval of 0&#x2013;36, and the confining pressure was extended from 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 groups to a continuous interval of 0&#x2013;12.</p>
<p>Under the same saturation time, the average value of peak strain and peak strength corresponding to different confining pressures at the same saturation time was calculated, and 37 sets of data were obtained. Under the same confining pressure, the average value of peak strain and peak strength corresponding to different filling times under the same confining pressure was calculated to obtain 12 sets of data. The average value was calculated using the following formula:<disp-formula id="e17">

<p>The fitting curve is shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">Figure 7</xref>. The correlation between the fitted curve and the original data was 0.99, indicating that the cubic polynomial fitting effect was good, and the fitted curve could predict the peak strain and peak strength in a continuous interval. It can be seen from the figure that the peak strain and peak strength increase continuously with the increase of confining pressure, and the peak strain decreases gradually with the increase of water saturation time. Under the same water retention time, the peak strain and peak strength increased with the increase of confining pressure, and the increase amplitude showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. Under the same confining pressure, the peak strain and peak strength decreased with the increase of water saturation time, and the decreasing amplitude also showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.</p>

<title>5 Conclusion</title>
<p>In this paper, the degradation mechanism of phosphoric rock samples under different saturation duration was analyzed by laboratory test, theoretical analysis and neural network modeling, and the results is as follows:<list list-type="simple">
<list-item>
<p>1) The peak compressive strength and peak strain of the samples decreased gradually with the increase of saturation time. The average peak strength of 12, 24, and 36&#xa0;h saturated specimens is 8.6%, 21.1%, and 32.2% lower than that of natural samples, and the peak strain is 5.9%, 13.9%, and 31.3% lower, respectively. It indicates that saturated water has obvious deterioration on mechanical properties of samples.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>2) The stress-strain curves of the samples with water saturation for 36&#xa0;h have more jitter stages after the peak, indicating that the plastic characteristics of the samples will be increased with water saturation for a long time.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>3) The neural network model was established to characterize the change of mechanical properties of the samples. The average accuracy of the model was 0.89. This model can well show the variation of mechanical properties of samples under the action of saturated water and confining pressure.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<p>4) The model can be used to predict and verify the mechanical properties of samples under other saturation and confining pressure conditions in the limited region. The research results can provide theoretical reference for the deterioration mechanism of confining pressure in water-rich roadway.</p>
