Filled inclusions in rock discontinuities play a key role in the mechanical characteristics of
the rock and thereby influence the stability of rock engineering. In this study, a series of …

Stability and safety of rock structures are easily influenced by the dynamic disturbance,
especially when weak joint planes exist. In order to investigate the filling joint effect on the …

Abstract The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus was adopted to investigate
the influence of joint contact area and spatial geometry of joint surface on the dynamic …

An energy-based identification method is proposed to investigate the seismic failure
mechanism of landslides with discontinuities. The proposed method was verified by using …

The presence of fluids in rock discontinuities may dramatically affect wave behaviours of
rock masses, eg, wave velocity, wave transmission and attenuation. In this study, extensive …

This paper presents an investigation of wave propagation through microfractured rock mass.
The effects of microfracture on wave propagation were observed by a series of scanning …

The geological structure of the Three-rivers Basin is complex, with active tectonic
movements and frequent earthquakes, resulting in fragile geological circumstances …

This study was undertaken to determine the quantitative relationship between macro-
fracture density, P-wave velocity, porosity and permeability of different coal rank samples …

Joints are an important mechanical feature of rock masses. Their effect on wave propagation
is significant in characterizing dynamic behaviors of discontinuous rock masses. An …

Understanding wave propagation across rock joints is of great importance in rock
engineering, petroleum engineering, and other geophysical applications. Previous studies …
