Abstract：During pumped energy storage using abandoned mines,coal pillars are not only affected by monotonic loads,but also suf-fer from frequent stress disturbances.The strength and deformation characteristics as well as the failure mode of the coal specimens under the influence of monotonic loading(stress path 1),multilevel constant-amplitude cyclic loading(stress path 2)and multilevel increasing cyclic loading(stress path 3)were studied using the coal samples from Hepan Coal Mine,Shaanxi Province,as the re-search object.The test results showed that the stress-strain curves of the coal specimens under cyclic loading formed obvious hyster-esis loops,and the area of hysteresis loops increased significantly with the rise of stress level;compared with the axial strain,the cir-cumstantial strain was more sensitive to the stress path;the peak strength and peak axial strain of the coal samples were the largest under monotonic loading,and the peak strength and axial strain of the specimens decreased by 22.12%and 18.35%(path 2)and 5.30%and 10.34%(path 3)under multi-level cyclic loading,respectively;the tangent modulus of the specimens under stress path 2 was significantly higher than the other stress paths;the stress paths had not changed the macroscopic failure mode of the coal speci-mens,but the cyclic loading caused the number and size of cracks on the specimen's surface to become larger.
