The surrounding rock of swelling soft rock roadway has high clay mineral content, strong
expansibility after encountering water, low strength and poor cementation. The roadway is …

Cemented granular materials (CGMs) are multi-phase materials consisting of a skeleton of
solid particles and a cement phase completely or partially filling the voids among the …

Structured granular materials exhibit strongly anisotropic mechanical behaviours resulting
from the directional properties of their microstructural components such as grain shape …

A hyperelastic-plastic coupled constitutive model unified for bonded and unbonded soils is
developed in this paper based on thermodynamics. An elastic potential function applicable …

During the process of rock failure, the characteristics of crack propagation affect the fracture
characteristics and macroscopic mechanical behavior of rocks, indirectly affecting the safety …

Weakly cemented soft rock roadways are prone to severe roof lowering and floor heave,
especially under strong mining. The failure of bolt (cable) supports is significant. Theoretical …

High-porosity granular rocks are moisture-sensitive solids, in that their strength and
deformability are modulated by the relative humidity of their environment. Here, a novel …

The strength of weakly cemented surrounding rock is low, and the bonding ability is weak.
The rock forming roadway is affected by the stress disturbance after the excavation and …

The focus of this study is the experimental characterization of cemented granular materials,
with the aim of identifying the microscopic properties of the solid bonds and describing the …

Mining subsidence is a common engineering geological and ecological problem in coal-
producing countries around the world. In this study, we obtained surface subsidence time …
