Abstract:
Experiments show that the observation curve of clinometer appears remarkable change when hygroscopic agent is added.According to the working principle of the clinometer and the effect of rock water content change to the surface of the rock,this article shows the relationship between the rock water content change and the instrument drift.Usually,there are two forms of water in the rock,combined water and free water,their effect to rock are mainly as following: linking,lubricating,wedging,hole stressing,dissolving eroding and latent eroding.The pore water pressure has great effect on the rock mechanical properties which leads to rock transmutation.
