Natural rock is a very common building material, and its stability plays an important role in
the safety and durability of tunnels, rock slopes, and other projects. However, tunnels and …

Fire, chemical actions, and other hidden dangers during construction and service often
threaten tunnels and other underground structures. This study investigated the strength and …

To describe the deformation and strength characteristics of the corroded rock-like specimens
containing a single crack under uniaxial compression, a damage constitutive model …

It is well known that there are some micro-cracks, pores or faults in a rock mass because of
the complexity of rock structure, and the essence of the rock material failure process is micro …

Rapid freeze–thaw (FT) cycles were adopted to explore the damage deterioration
mechanism and mechanical properties of sandstone specimens under the coupling effects …

For rock fractures, the degradations in the strength of contacting asperities and the surface
frictional resistance are responsible for the water-induced weakening in the shear strength …

It is of great practical significance to study the microscopic mechanisms and strength
damage laws of deep rock masses under the coupling action of water and rock. The pore …

Aiming at the problem of temperature-mechanics-chemical (TMC) action encountered by
rocks in underground engineering, sandstone was selected as the sample for acid corrosion …

The acidic groundwater poses a significant threat to the durability of engineering structures,
primarily due to the combined effects of acid erosion. As an important material used in …

The study on the damage evolution mechanism of freeze-thaw of rock sample in acidic
environment is of great theoretical and practical significance to the analysis and prevention …
