Q-slope is an empirical rock slope engineering method for assessing the stability of
excavated rock slopes in the field. Intended for use in reinforcement-free road or railway …

The value of Poisson's ratio is a crucial parameter in rock mechanics and engineering for
both intact rock and rock mass. Poisson's ratio has not gotten the attention it merits …

Mohr diagrams are a simple and effective method that can help geoscientists consider,
model, and predict the ranges of mechanical properties of rock, stresses, fluid pressures …

Any rock mechanics' design inherently involves determining the deformation characteristics
of the rock material. The purpose of this study is to offer equations for calculating the values …

The relationship between normal fault displacement (D) and length (L) varies due to
numerous factors, including fault size, maturity, basin tectonic history, and host rock …

This study involved an embankment settlement analysis of a case study of the railway loess-
filled embankment section of the Baozhong railway in Guyuan, China. The two-dimensional …

The freezing technique has been employed for a long time to strengthen the mechanical
properties of intact rock and rock mass; however, it has not received as much attention as it …

Fluid flow through fractured media is typically governed by the distribution of fracture
apertures, which are in turn governed by stress. Consequently, understanding subsurface …

Rock can undergo shape deformation and damage due to the influence of joint fissures, and
the range of damage caused by joints at different rock bridge angles varies. To study the …

The Poisson's ratio of the intact rock material is one of the basic material constants for rock
engineering calculations in and on rock environments. Recently, several relationships were …
