As coal mining is extended from shallow to deep areas along the western coalfield, it is of
great significance to study weakly cemented sandstone at different depths for underground …

In the creep tests, stress is no longer a constant and increases gradually under the influence
of damage occurring during accelerating creep, which is a slow-loading process rather than …

In order to investigate the instability mechanism of composite coal-rock samples with
different strength rock, several uniaxial compression experiments of composite samples …

To investigate the fracture evolution of fiber-reinforced backfill, uniaxial compression tests
were conducted on different fiber types of reinforced backfills, and the fracture process of …

Great potential of underground gas/energy storage in salt caverns seems to be a promising
solution to support renewable energy. In the underground storage method, the operating …

Uniaxial compression tests combined with nondestructive testing techniques are performed
to explore the roles of non‐isometric flaws in crack developments in brittle rocks. The …

To study macro and micro characteristics of rock and their correlation in high temperature
