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 …

A series of dynamic tests were carried out to investigate the effect of joint roughness on the
wave energy attenuation in rock masses and estimate the relation between joint roughness …

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 …

Dynamic impact tests were carried out on red sandstone specimens with single bonded
planar joint at various angles based on a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), to …

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 …

Natural or artificially disturbed rocks containing massive fillings are frequently subjected to
various sophisticated temperature and stress perturbations. To investigate the effects of …

To investigate the influence of weakly filled joint angles on the dynamic mechanical
properties and fracture evolution mechanism of sandstone, dynamic uniaxial compression …

Jointed rock masses of roadways in underground coal mines are heavily disturbed by rock-
cutting vibrations from Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs), posing significant challenges in …

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 …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of filling materials (eg, quartz sand and
kaolin clay) in the interaction between a P-wave and a rock fracture. The specific fracture …
