Rocks can deform at varying scales (nano-, micro-and macro-scale) under different
temperatures, pressures, stresses, and time conditions. Sub-core scale (nano-to micro …

Fracture characteristics of rock and rational structural design are necessary to ensure the
stability of underground rock engineering. Early warning of rock damage is a hot and …

To study the acoustic characteristics and failure mode of the rock failure process under a
complex stress state, acoustic emission (AE) monitoring technology was employed to collect …

Studies of the damage process of fiber-reinforced concrete through acoustic emission are
very significant for concrete structural health monitoring. In this study, three specifications of …

Rockburst is a difficult problem that restricts the development of deep rock mass engineering
technology, and the warning of rockburst occurrence time remain a common challenge …

Freeze-thaw weathering effectively deteriorates the physical and mechanical properties of
rocks and seriously threatens the stability of engineering projects in cold regions. This study …

The early prediction of violent coal-bearing strata failure using effective monitoring is crucial
to avoid losses due to catastrophic failures and geological disasters to ensure safe and …

We conduct a comparative laboratory investigation of the cracking behaviour of granite,
marble and sandstone using semi-circular bending (SCB) tests on pre-notched specimens …

Failure precursors with clear physicomechanical connotations are of great significance in
predicting catastrophic instability in major constructions and rock engineering. Here, we …

The instability and failure of water-bearing coal mass can lead to serious coal–rock dynamic
disasters, such as mine water inrush. It brings severe challenges to the safety produce …
