The instability of shotcreted structures, eg, the underground tunnels after shotcreting, often
results from the tensile failure of the rock-concrete interface. However, the understanding of …

The shear strength deterioration of bedding planes between different rock types induced by
cyclic loading is vital to reasonably evaluate the stability of soft and hard interbedded …

The failure and instability of sedimentary rocks are related to internal weak surface and
potential damage. To explore the influence of layer structure on the crack expansion law and …

The shear characteristics of the concrete-rock interface play a crucial role in the stability of
engineering structures in geotechnical construction. This study utilized a combination of …

It is believed that the loading rate significantly affects the damaging behaviors of layered
rocks. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the inherent bedding structure …

The shear strength parameters of the discontinuity surfaces should be acquired for the
investigation of discontinuity-controlled instabilities in rock masses. Particularly in weak …

The static and dynamic compression mechanical properties of the prefabricated artificial
filled rock joints specimens with different fillings and different joint thicknesses are tested …

In geotechnical engineering, activities such as landslides, rockfalls, blasting, and excavation
often subject jointed rock masses to dynamic shear loads, impacting project stability. With …

Fractured rock mass with non-equal width filling often appears in the tunel engineering, the
non-equal width ratio is the ratio of the filling width at the seepage inlet to the outlet. To study …

The shear strength of rock joints is an important property required in order to analyze the
stability of rock slopes and tunnels. However, estimation of the shear strength of rock joints …
