The influence of thermal damage on macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of
different rocks has received much attention in the field of rock engineering. When the rocks …

The fracture characteristics of fine-grained granite were examined for a potential geothermal-
energy reservoir. The granite was thermally cycled in a furnace between 100° C and 300° C …

The failure characteristics and the various induced fractures of shale are investigated in this
paper. Brazilian tests were conducted for different inclination angles of the weak planes of …

Thermally-induced changes in the fracture properties of geological reservoir rocks can
influence their stability, transport characteristics, and performance related to various deep …

Thermal cycling induced micro-cracks can change the physical and mechanical properties
of geothermal energy reservoir, which may influence the heat and mass transfer …

This paper investigates variation in the failure behavior of shale in a ScCO 2-immersion
environment with different adsorption periods and layering orientations. Eight types of …

Strain burst is a common problem encountered in brittle rocks in deep, high-stress mining
applications. Limited research focuses on the effects of temperature on the strain burst …

Despite a large number of studies examining the effects of high temperature on the physical
and mechanical properties of various rock types, few studies have addressed the effects of …

Rock mass is frequently subjected to rapid cooling in many temperature-dependent
engineering applications. In this paper, to understand the effects of water and liquid nitrogen …

The destruction and fracture failure of heat-treated rock structures have been major issues in
the underground engineering, such as disposal of highly radioactive nuclear waste, deep …
