Abstract: This study conducts several laboratory tests (triaxial compression, cycle loading, and cycle loading creep tests) to explore the degradation mechanism of mechanical properties of cement mortar. The results revealed that ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of basalt is critical to the stability and safety of large structures erected on basalt. In this paper, a series of tests (hydrostatic compression test, triaxial compression tests, and triaxial ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of rock mass is strongly influenced by internal joints. To investigate the effect of hidden joints on the strength and deformation behavior of rock mass, a series of triaxial compression tests was ...
