The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

Reduction in strength and stiffness in rocks attributed to an increase in water content has
been extensively researched on a large variety of rock types over the past decades. Due to …

To fully understand the influence of water on rockburst proneness from energy storage
viewpoint of rock and to check the performance of energy-related rockburst proneness …

The influence of wetting and drying cycles (WDC) on the strength weakening of typical rocks
in soft and hard interbedded rock masses is vital to comprehend the mechanism of …

Water is a crucial factor that influences the mechanical behavior of rock and can induce
failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of water content and water …

Water is believed to be a significant factor affecting the short-and long-term strength of rocks.
To further understand the effect of water on the mechanical behavior of rocks, we first …

Water content has a pronounced influence on the properties of rock materials, which is
responsible for many rock engineering hazards, such as landslides and karst collapse …

This study investigated the effect of water content on quasi-static fracture behavior of
sandstone. Notched semi-circular bending (NSCB) tests were conducted on a total number …

This study presents the results obtained from laboratory tests carried out on different types of
clay-bearing rock collected from various parts of Turkey, to quantify the effects of water …

Bioclogging and biocementation can be used to improve the geotechnical properties of
sand. These processes can be performed by adsorption of urease-producing bacterial cells …
