Water–rock interaction (WRI) is a topic of interest in geology and geotechnical engineering.
Many geological hazards and engineering safety problems are severe under the WRI. This …

Underground coal mining has a strong disturbance on surrounding rock strata, causing
inevitable water inflow into mined spaces, which seriously affects safety production. Mine …

The microscopic pore structure of sandstone gradually changes under long-term immersion,
resulting in dynamic changes in the mechanical and damage properties of sandstone, which …

The strength of sandstone decreases significantly with higher water content attributing to
softening effects. This scenario can pose a severe threat to the stability of reservoirs of …

Water weakens rock masses, which induces a series of engineering geological hazards. In
this study, Brazilian splitting and acoustic emission (AE) experiments were conducted on …

The presence of water in sandstones has caused many engineering geology disasters. In
order to investigate the weakening mechanism of the clay-bearing green sandstone caused …

An in-depth understanding of how water affects mechanical behavior of coal and fracture
failure modes is important for evaluating the stability of underground engineering. In this …

In this paper, the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements are carried out to
evaluate the micro‐cracking characteristics of sandstones during the creep stage under the …

Weakly cemented sandstone (WCS) is a unique rock type widely distributed on the surface.
Environmental factors such as groundwater and stress variations easily influence its fatigue …

Weakly cemented sandstone is widely distributed in Northwest China. Its mechanical
properties decline after encountering water, resulting in engineering and technical problems …
