This article reviews the effect of weak interfaces on crack propagation in rock and some
other analogous brittle materials from phenomenon to mechanism. In this review, a variety of …

Water and mud inrush is one of the most important geohazards in underground engineering.
The paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the current understanding of this type of …

The dynamic responses of both underground structures and their surrounding
geoformations induced by tamped spherical detonation have been recognised as one of the …

To investigate the energy evolution characteristics of rock materials under uniaxial
compression, the single-cyclic loading–unloading uniaxial compression tests of four rock …

Basalt fiber concrete, as a new type of composite material with low price and superior
performance, has a broad market and prospect in the field of civil engineering and …

Prediction of the rockburst proneness of rock in the field is an important problem in rockburst
research. In this paper, the analytical relationship between the strength ratio (the ratio of the …

We report laboratory experiments to investigate the dynamic failure characteristics of
outburst‐prone coal using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). For comparison, two …

This work presents experimental tests based on coal collected from a coal mine based
underground water reservoir (CMUWR). The mechanical responses of dry and water …

Bedrock and concrete lining are typical composite structures in the engineering field and the
stability of the geological body and engineering body is directly connected to the mechanical …

On islands distant from the mainland, obtaining raw materials for concrete production is
often more challenging. To achieve sustainable development in island reef engineering …
