Water–rock interaction (WRI) is a topic of interest in geology and geotechnical engineering.
Many geological hazards and engineering safety problems are severe under the WRI. This …

Fracture pattern development has been a challenging area of research in the Earth sciences
for more than 100 years. Much has been learned about the spatial and temporal complexity …

To fully understand the influence of water on rockburst proneness from energy storage
viewpoint of rock and to check the performance of energy-related rockburst proneness …

Water is a crucial factor that influences the mechanical behavior of rock and can induce
failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of water content and water …

In this paper, a series of uniaxial compression experiments were carried out on sandstone
with varying water contents, and acoustic emission (AE) signals were synchronously …

The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

Underground rock structures are frequently subjected to water erosion and dynamic
disturbance simultaneously. Herein, in order to study the coupled effects of water and high …

Rock fracture under upper crustal conditions is driven not only by applied stresses, but also
by time-dependent, chemically activated subcritical cracking processes. These subcritical …

Water inrush hazard is a major threat to safe mining and tunnel construction. During the
water inrush process, nonlinear properties of rock mass can change gradually due to the …

Many of the earliest laboratory studies of the brittle-ductile transition were on porous rocks,
with a focus on the evolution of failure mode from brittle faulting to cataclastic flow with …
