   Unstable rock is a kind of global geological disaster with high frequency. This paper, considering three kinds of combined loads which are gravity, fracture water pressure and seismic force, constructs a unstable rock mechanics model and it uses a fracture mechanics method to deduce the composite stress intensity factor of the type I - II. Based on the maximum circumferential stress theory, this a
   rticle calculates the theo-retical fracture angle by triangle universal formula.

Introduction</title><p>Rock is a complex structure which is naturally produced by one or more minerals under geological conditions. In the rock engineer, most rocks belong to pressure-shear condition. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent for the study of unstable rock in pressure-shear condition. A lot of scholars have devoted themselves to the study of unstable rock. For example, Nara Y. etc. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.70719-ref1">1</xref>] had found that fissure water would accelerate the speed of the subcritical crack growth of granite and affect the structural strength of the granite; With rock surrounding the Skolis Mountain and the Acrocorinthos area as the research object, Zygouri V. etc. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.70719-ref2">2</xref>] showed that shallow earthquakes could cause a wide range of rock collapse; Chen H. K. etc. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.70719-ref3">3</xref>] put forward the failure criterion of unstable rock under the excitation effect and established the evaluation method for its safe; Johari A. etc. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.70719-ref4">4</xref>] used the method of joint distribution of random variables to evaluate the stability of rock in the critical state; Li Y. etc. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.70719-ref5">5</xref>] simulated the crack development of rock mass under the action of water pressure by using FLAC3D software, and the studies showed that the strength and stability of the jointed rock mass was obviously decreased; Liang L. etc. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.70719-ref6">6</xref>] sampled the shale in the Long maxi area, and the research results showed that the aqueous liquid of had significant positive impact in Crack growth of shale. However, So far, many scholars have studied the rock crack by the method of experiment and numerical analysis, and the theoretical analysis of the rock crack is slightly deficient. This text used the method of fracture mechanics to deduce the unstable rock, and the results have certain theoretical guiding significance and economic value for prevention of disaster and engineering safety assessment.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

Conclusion</title><p>Considering gravity, fracture water pressure and seismic force, this paper constructs unstable rock mechanics model, which is very common in the rock engineer. What’s more, we derive composite stress intensity factor of the type I - II by fracture mechanics. And according to the maximum circumferential stress, we calculate theory Fracture angle by trigonometric function. In short, the results have certain theoretical guiding significance and economic value for prevention of disaster and engineering safety assessment.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Chen, S.Q., Chen, H.K., Yang, M., Chen, T. and Guo, K.X.
