Deep-land resource exploitation is a crucial focus of future scientific and technological
development in China. However, with the increasing depth of coal mining, rock burst …

Layered and heterogenous fissured rock masses are ubiquitous in nature. Fissures exert
significant influence as release surfaces and nucleation sites for failure in layered rock …

Rocks can deform at varying scales (nano-, micro-and macro-scale) under different
temperatures, pressures, stresses, and time conditions. Sub-core scale (nano-to micro …

Many large engineering projects, eg, the Sichuan–Tibet Railway, inevitably cross the
earthquake active areas and the geology complicated zones, facing the challenges of …

To investigate the seismic cumulative failure effect (SCFE) of a reservoir bank rock slope, the
dynamic displacement response of the slope was analysed using shaking table tests. A …

To investigate the influence of a rapid water drawdown (RWD) on the seismic response
characteristics of reservoir rock slopes, numerical dynamic analyses and shaking table tests …

Abstract Development and utilization of Urban underground space (UUS) is one of the key
ways for developing sustainable cities. However, the development and utilization of UUS is …

Tunnel excavation has a substantial effect on the stability of rock slopes. The influence of
tunnel excavation on the deformation and mechanical characteristics of a bedded slope is …

Permeability and porosity are key parameters in reservoir characterization for understanding
hydrocarbon flow behavior. While traditional laboratory core analysis is time-consuming …

The development of micro-cracks during damage to rocks affects the propagation of
macroscopic cracks on the surface. To explore the crack evolution among pre-existing flaws …
