Rock pillars in rock engineering are affected by the stress concentration, which is uneven
and can lead to potential instability after loading disturbance. In this paper, considering the …

Rock-like containing non-parallel conjugate flaws specimens (NPCFS) were prepared and
uniaxial compression crack propagation tests were conducted employing acoustic emission …

The mechanical characteristics and acoustic behavior of rock masses are greatly influenced
by stochastic joints. In this study, numerical models of rock masses incorporating intermittent …

The risks of underground engineering originate from disturbances caused by the alterations
to the stress field within rock masses. To understand the variations in the stress field within …

With the exploitation of deeper underground resources with harsh working conditions and
significant geotechnical issues, it is challenging to quantify the damage evaluation …

The failure and instability of deep coal-rock mass structures, which are influenced by mining
disturbances, are major contributors to disasters like rock bursts. This study involved …

We characterized the strength and deformability of Wuyi granite based on Brazilian tests and
axisymmetric compression tests under different confining pressures (0, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30 …

Predicting brittle rock failure is essential for rock mechanics research and early disaster
alerts in deep rock engineering. Successful prediction relies on identifying crack initiation …

Early detection of rockburst risk areas is a prerequisite for ensuring safe production in coal
mines. A reliable and efficient detection method is essential for identifying stress distribution …
