Subsurface fluid injections can disturb the effective stress regime by elevating pore pressure and potentially reactivate faults and fractures.Laboratory studie
Since the development of the new Austrian tunnelling method(NATM)in the 1960s,this technique has been applied successfully in many tunnels.However,opinions of N
Understanding rock mechanical behaviors after thermal shock is critically important for practical engineering application.In this context,physico-mechanical pro
In deep underground engineering,understanding of time-related stress memory properties is critical to evaluate the in situ stress conditions of a rock mass.In t
This paper presents an automated method for discontinuity trace mapping using three-dimensional point clouds of rock mass surfaces.Specifically,the method consi
Electropulse stimulation provides an energy-efficient means of excavating hard rocks through repeated application of high voltage pulses to the rock surface.As
Mechanical failure of materials adjacent to the production cavity and material disaggregation caused by fluid drag are considered as the most important paramete
Stability analysis of strain-softening slopes is carried out using the shear strength reduction method and Mohr-Coulomb model with degrading cohesion and fricti
To reveal the damage characteristics and catastrophic failure mechanism of coal rock caused by gas adsorption,physical tests and theoretical methods are employe
In this study,the combined effects of geometrical distribution and geomechanical deformation of fracture networks on fluid flow through fractured geological med
