This study provides a comprehensive exploration of the utilization of scrap tires in
geotechnical engineering, focusing on their applications, mechanical behavior …

Rock-mortar (RM) structures are commonly used in underground mines to ensure safe
mining production. However, the imperfect bonding between rock and mortar leads to initial …

Materials' fracture mechanics are crucial because they can predict how a material will break
before it really happens. An extended finite element 2D numerical model implemented in the …

Despite possibly higher initial costs, owners and construction management organizations
have demonstrated a growing interest in implementing practices that result in improved …

The advantages of the design of experiment method, such as the Response Surface
Method, are shown in various fields. However, it has received less attention in the field of …

In this paper, the finite element solutions of crack-tip fields for an elastic porous solid with
density-dependent material moduli are presented. Unlike the classical linearized case in …

In the recent past, several weathering indicators have been developed to describe its state
of weathering. The state of rock weathering is a useful indicator to estimate the integrity of …

Fracture properties are crucial for the design and application of concrete materials. The
fracture energy which represents the fracture performance of concrete always suffers the …

Performance of TBM is significantly influenced by the ground conditions and machine
variables. To achieve an optimum rate of penetration (ROP) during TBM excavation, it is …

Based on the distributed dislocation function, the complex function of arbitrary position and
branch cross-crack group under hydraulic-mechanical in the infinite plate is derived and the …
