Water weakens rock masses, which induces a series of engineering geological hazards. In
this study, Brazilian splitting and acoustic emission (AE) experiments were conducted on …

To investigate the rate dependence on the mechanical behaviours of rocks under
intermediate strain rate, three types of rock were loaded by using a newly developed servo …

Concrete building structures in cold regions are frequently exposed to low-temperature
environments and inevitably subjected to impact loads during service. This study aimed to …

Weakly cemented sandstone (WCS) is a unique rock type widely distributed on the surface.
Environmental factors such as groundwater and stress variations easily influence its fatigue …

To address the water-inrush hazards encountered in deep tunnels in the rugged terrain of
Southwest China, the uniaxial compression tests and acoustic emission (AE) monitoring …

To study the mechanical properties of different types of rocks under impact loading, static
mechanical parameter tests and split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) dynamic impact …

Rocks frequently endure water environments and diverse cyclic loading from natural and
anthropogenic sources across various damage stages. Understanding the mechanical and …

As one of the main methods, hydraulic fracturing method is widely used in underground
energy exploitation. Groundwater not only restricts the energy exploitation efficiency, but …

In deep underground geotechnical engineering, water–rock interaction emerges as a critical
factor influencing the stability of engineering rock masses. This study delves into the …

To thoroughly investigate the stability of reservoir rock mass in heavy oil thermal recovery
projects, this study explored the dynamic mechanical properties and deformation behaviors …
