An elastoplastic damage constitutive model is constructed in this work to describe the
macroscopic mechanical behaviors of geomaterials with a “porous matrix-inclusion” …

In this study, a layered rock mass was regarded as a composite material, composed of
interlayered intact rocks and bedding planes. Based on this assumption, we developed a …

The paper deals with the determination of the mechanical properties of heterogeneous rocks
in the laboratory and proposes a methodology for predicting the rock mass strength of flysch …

Volcanoes represent one of the most critical geological settings for hazard modelling due to
their propensity to both unpredictably erupt and collapse, even in times of quiescence …

Large-scale geomechanical model test was conducted in order to investigate stability of an
un-supported tunnel with rectangular cross section embedded in 45° inclined alternating …

A micromechanical elastoplastic model is proposed in this study for anisotropic sedimentary
rocks. With a two-step homogenization procedure, a macroscopic criterion is established for …

As a kind of widely exposed engineering rock mass, layered rock mass exhibits extremely
anisotropy and significant asymptotic deterioration effect in both deformation and strength …

Some micromechanics-based constitutive models are presented in this study for porous
geomaterials. These micro-macro mechanical models focus on the effect of porosity and the …

In this paper, a procedure is developed for assessing the strength of brick masonry based on
homogenization theory. The approach invokes a lower bound analysis whereby plastically …

As part of the HG-A experiment in the Mont Terri Rock Laboratory, large-scale in situ
water/gas injection experiments was conducted in a microtunnel. This research work …
