The study of strength characteristics of rocks under unloading condition is of very importance to the safety evaluation of the underground engineering.There are many factors affecting the strength in unloading test,such as lithology,initial unloading stress,unloading stress path and unloading rate,etc.Among these factors,the unloading rate is concerned in this study.Yield approach rate(YAR) is proposed to denote the stress varying rate under loading and unloading conditions.The YAR under loading and unloading conditions is almost equal when the unloading confining pressure rate is 0.2-0.3 of the loading axial stress rate in general triaxial tests.The simulation by EPCA2D(Elasto-Plastic Cellular Automaton) and the unloading test on marble indicate that the strength of the rock will increase as the unloading rate is higher and the strength under loading and unloading conditions is equal when the unloading rate is 0.2-0.3 of the loading rate.Then the conclusion can be drawn that if the YAR is given and the initial unloading stress is in the elastic state,the unloading stress path has little influence on the strength.
