The stability control of surrounding rock in deep roadway is becoming more and more difficult, and grouting reinforcement support has become the mainstream of roadway control. In order to obtain the ratio of quasi-sandstone material corresponding to the grouting body, this paper uses river sand as aggregate, cement and gypsum as cementing agent, retarder and defoamer as additives, and carries out orthogonal proportioning tests with three influencing factors: water-binder ratio (ratio of water to mass of cementing agent), gypsum-cement ratio (ratio of gypsum to mass of cement) and binder-aggregate ratio (ratio of cementing agent to aggregate mass), and compares and analyzes the sensitivity of each factor on the density, compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, longitudinal wave velocity, elasticity index and brittleness index of quasi-sandstone material. The results show that 1) the Water-binder ratio has the greatest effect on the sensitivity of material compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio and longitudinal wave velocity; the gypsum-cement ratio has the greatest effect on the sensitivity of material deformation index and brittleness index; the binder-aggregate ratio has the greatest effect on the sensitivity of material density. 2) Reducing the Water-binder ratio can improve the density, compressive strength and tensile strength of the material; reducing the paste ratio can improve the modulus of elasticity, Poisson’s ratio and longitudinal wave speed of the material; as the gypsum-cement ratio increases, the deformation index first decreases and then increases and then decreases; as the binder-aggregate ratio increases, the brittleness index first increases and then decreases and then increases. 3) The empirical equations between physical and mechanical properties of sandstone-like materials and Water-binder ratio, gypsum-cement ratio and binder-aggregate ratio were established based on multiple linear regression analysis, and more reasonable material ratios were quickly obtained by physical and mechanical parameters of materials. The results of the study provide theoretical references for similar material simulation tests for quasi-sandstone grouting.
1 Introduction
With Chinese coal resources into deep mining, deep roadway surrounding rock in high stress, strong mining of the mutual superposition of the role of deep roadway surrounding rock stability control increasingly difficult, surrounding rock grouting reinforcement support has become the mainstream of roadway control (He 2021; Jia et al., 2022a; Jia et al., 2022b; Jing et al., 2022; Li et al., 2022; Wang et al., 2022; Zhang and Yin, 2022). In recent years, physical model tests have been widely used in the field of underground engineering because of the advantages of easy fabrication, controllable size and variables, and low price, so carrying out the raw rock similar material proportioning experiments to prepare raw rock and obtain the similar material proportioning of quasi-sandstone corresponding to the grouted body provides an experimental basis for further research on the slurry seepage diffusion law and grouting reinforcement effect in quasi-sandstone under true triaxial stress environment, which is of deep The seepage flow grouting support of the tunnel surround rock has important practical significance (Lu et al., 2022; Liu et al., 2017; Kang et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2020).
Rich results have been achieved in the proportioning of similar materials for quasi-sandstone materials, (Wang et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2008; Zhang et al., 2019; Deng et al., 2020; Bai et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2022; Qin et al., 2022; Zhai et al., 2022), by using the similarity theory, similar specimens of the original rock were prepared using similar materials, and the physical and mechanical properties and damage laws were investigated. Optimized the ratio of rock-like materials prepared by 3D printing technology (Wu et al., 2020). Quasi-Sandstone similar materials were prepared using cement, gypsum, sand and coal dust, and it was concluded that gypsum and cement were the main controlling factors for deformation and strength of similar materials, respectively (Chen et al., 2019). Using hardener (CA), epoxy resin (ER) and rosin saturated solution (RSS) as proportional materials, the observability of this type of rock material after fracture generation was demonstrated based on physical and mechanical properties experiments (Ge et al., 2019). The quartz sand was selected as aggregate, and high-strength gypsum powder and talcum powder were used as cementing materials to prepare rock-like materials. The effects of sand-to-gel ratio, water curing, molding pressure and molding time on elastic modulus, compressive strength and permeability were investigated (Hou et al., 2022). Artificial sandstone was prepared using quartz sand as aggregate, montmorillonite and illite as clay, and epoxy resin as binder, and the effect law of clay ratio on the permeability of artificial sandstone was explored (Zhang et al., 2018). A four-factor, three-level orthogonal test was designed using ceramic sand, cement, gypsum and water as raw materials to simulate similar materials of red sandstone, and the test results of physical and mechanical properties of similar materials were subjected to extreme difference analysis and multiple linear regression analysis to obtain the degree of influence of each influencing factor on physical and mechanical properties of similar materials and empirical equations for the proportioning of similar materials of red sandstone (Hu et al., 2020). Mortar-like rock materials were prepared, and (E/
In this paper, river sand, cement and gypsum are used as raw materials, retarder and defoamer are used as additives. Density, longitudinal wave velocity, compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, brittleness index (
2 Raw material selection
According to previous studies, appropriate sandstone similar materials should be selected for conducting physical model tests, and the following three principles need to be followed (Li et al., 2017). 1) The physical and mechanical properties of sandstone analogues are similar to those of sandstone. 2) The raw materials of similar materials are widely available, inexpensive, non-toxic and non-hazardous, and stable in physical and mechanical properties. 3) The physical and mechanical properties of sandstone analogues can be adjusted to a larger extent by changing the proportioning scheme.
A well-prepared sandstone similar specimen must have a certain compressive strength. Ordinary silicate cement is a cementing material widely used to regulate the strength of specimens at present, and the compressive strength of sandstone similar material is mainly related to the amount of cement content. Gypsum as a cementing agent has obvious brittle characteristics, which can regulate the range of compressive strength and modulus of elasticity, and the specimens with gypsum added mainly undergo brittle deformation, and its brittle characteristics are mainly determined by the amount of gypsum content. River sand is one of the most common materials similar to sandstone, so this test used Huaihe River sand as aggregate with an average particle size of 0.125 mm–0.25 mm to reduce the effect of particle size gradation on the strength of the specimens.
In this paper, Renlou coal mine perimeter rock (sandstone mainly) is used as the research object, and ordinary silicate cement P.O 42.5 and gypsum are selected as cementing materials, which not only ensure the sandstone similar materials to better simulate the influence of gravity field under real environment, but also meet the mechanical properties of the materials. Because gypsum is added to the similar material as cemented river sand (0.125 mm–0.225 mm) as aggregate and retarder and defoamer as added materials, thus a certain proportion of retarder borax was needed to slow down the setting rate of gypsum and facilitate the fabrication of specimens.
3 Experiment
3.1 Experimental scheme
Three factors, water-cement ratio, gypsum-cement ratio and binder-aggregate ratio, are selected as the influencing factors of the test, and four levels of each factor are selected. In order to simplify the analysis process, ignoring the interaction between the factors. The specific factor level settings were determined after pre-experimental blending as shown in Table 1. When designing an orthogonal table for the experiment, it is necessary to select an orthogonal table with the same number of levels and not less than the number of columns than the number of factors as a reference, so this experiment chose a 3-factor 4-level orthogonal design scheme L16 (43). The specific combination of each group is shown in Table 2.
Note: The effect of defoamer and water-reducing agent on the test was not explored in the test. The amount of defoamer is 0.1% of the mass of binder, and the amount of water-reducing agent is 1% of the mass of binder.

The molds are placed in the constant temperature and humidity chamber for 2 days by standard maintenance. During the period, the temperature in the curing box was kept at 201°C and the relative humidity was more than 99%, and the mold was removed after the specimen is formed and continued to be placed in the constant temperature and humidity box for 28 days. The well-cared cubic specimens were cored, cut and polished into two standard cylindrical specimens: 50 mm × 25 mm for Brazilian splitting test and 50 mm × 100 mm for uniaxial compression test according to the recommended sample preparation requirements of the International Society of Rock Mechanics (ISRM) Recommended Methods for Rock Mechanics Testing (1982) (Zhai et al., 2022).

The range analysis method commonly used in orthogonal experimental design is a more intuitive data analysis method, which usually obtains the optimal level combination under an index. Since the indexes of rock similar materials designed in this experiment are all interval values, the criterion selected is the index closest to the median value of the index range when selecting the optimal level combination.

6 Discussion
The method described in this paper is used to prepare similar quasi-sandstone materials corresponding to the grouting body. The relationship between the physical and mechanical properties of similar materials and the three factors of water-binder ratio, gypsum-cement ratio and binder-aggregate ratio is mainly explored. Based on multiple linear regression analysis, the empirical formula of the three factors and physical and mechanical properties is obtained, which overcomes the blindness of the previous preparation of quasi-sandstone materials. The introduction of deformation index and brittleness index increases the mechanical properties of similar materials and reduces the error caused by the difference between the properties of similar materials and the original sandstone in the indoor test of replacing rock. To a certain extent, it ensures that the prepared quasi-sandstone material has a certain similarity with the natural original sandstone, and can better carry out the test of slurry seepage diffusion law and grouting reinforcement effect of rock and rock mass under true triaxial stress environment.
However, in some indoor tests, it is sometimes necessary to select appropriate physical and mechanical parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to quickly find the corresponding material ratio based on the empirical formula and then reversely adjust the three factors to change their properties. It can be seen from Figure 12A that the density, compressive strength and tensile strength of the material are approximately negatively correlated with the water-binder ratio, and the density, compressive strength and tensile strength of the material can be improved by reducing the water-binder ratio. It can be seen from Figure 12B that with the increase of gypsum-cement ratio, the elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio and longitudinal wave velocity of the material gradually decrease. The elastic modulus, Poisson‘s ratio and longitudinal wave velocity of the material can be improved by reducing the paste-mud ratio. It can be seen from Figure 12C that with the increase of the binder-aggregate ratio, the deformation index decreases first, then increases and then decreases. With the increase of the binder-aggregate ratio, the brittleness index increases first and then decreases.
