Numerical modeling is a promising way to understand the characteristics of the thermo-
mechanical (TM) coupled behaviors in rocks under high-temperature impact. This paper …

An Eibenstock granite (EG) thin section blank was used to observe thermal-induced cracks
after subjecting it to a heating–cooling cycle to 1000° C. To understand the real-time thermal …

Grain-based models (GBM) are widely used to reproduce the heterogeneous characteristics
of natural rocks at the grain size level. To incorporate the spatial distribution of the …

Cracks are always a serious concern in the stability analysis of gravity dams. One of the
main reasons for the initiation of cracks is overflow. In most previous crack propagation …

Abstract The Valley of the Kings (KV) is located within a large funerary landscape called the
Theban Necropolis, in Luxor, Egypt. In 2018, our team started to monitor the transient …

Assessment of the seismic damage of coal mine overburden (OB) dump slopes gets
compromised due to negligence of the consideration of heterogeneity in the shape and size …

The proper assessment of stability of overburden (OB) dump slopes for the prevention of
unforeseeable incidents has become a crucial issue for the coal mine industries across the …

Cracks are always a serious concern in the stability analysis of gravity dams. One of the
main reasons for the initiation of cracks is overflows. In evaluating dam safety under flood …

The complex mechanical characteristics of the Xiyu conglomerate significantly influence the
resistance and deformation features of its caverns' surrounding rock, thereby constraining …

Understanding thermo-mechanical behavior of granite under triaxial stress and ultrahigh
heating rates is essential for advancing the flame-assisted drilling technique in geothermal …
