Surrounding rocks around coal tunnel in western mining area of China are typical composite structures composed of weakly cemented soft rock and hard coal, and the tunnel stability is closely related to the overall mechanical behavior of the combination body. The equivalent homogeneous model of coal-rock combination body and its stress state expressions were firstly established based on the strain energy equivalency principle. Then, the general compression-shear failure criterion of the equivalent model which takes into account the cohesive strength of the interface between coal and soft rock was derived by assuming that the yielded mediums all met Mohr-Coulomb criterion. Furthermore, accuracy of the proposed analytical model was verified by carrying out laboratory test for coal-mudstone specimen, and it found that the theoretical results were in good agreement with the test values. Strength of the combination body lies between the strong body and weak body. Finally, the effects of interface cohesion strength, rock thickness and stress level on the failure behavior of combination model were analyzed based on the analytical model. Results show that the proposed model not only contains the classical sliding failure theory for two-dimensional weak plane presented by Jaeger, but also reflect strength behavior of a more complex composite model composed of different rock mediums and structural plane. Thus, the analytical model provides theoretical basis for further studying the mechanical behavior of coal-rock combination model. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
