Abstract: The mechanical characteristics of rock masses anchored with bolts play a critical role in anchored slope and underground buildings. In this study, the components and their mixing ratios of similar materials, such as rock ...

Abstract: Predisintegrated carbonaceous mudstone (PCM) that exhibits low strength and continuous disintegration is prone to wetting deformation after repeated seasonal rainfall. A reasonable assessment of wetting deformation is ...

Abstract: Understanding the cracking behaviors and failure mechanisms of soft rocks with existing cracks is crucial in designing rock engineering structures. Hence, we studied the influence of crack parameters, including crack ...
