Cracks and cavities belong to two basic forms of damage to the concrete structure, which
may reduce the load-bearing capacity and tightness of the structure and lead to failures and …

Disposal of the coal fly ash (CFA) generated from thermal power plants in huge quantities is
one of the major concerns for the industry, as well as the natural environment. On the other …

This study presents test results and in-depth discussion regarding the measurement of the
fracture mechanics parameters of new concrete composites based on quaternary blended …

The following article introduces, in a thorough manner, how the chemical pozzolanic
reaction takes place in cement composites containing the fly ash (FA) additive. In the …

The uniaxial compressive failure mechanism of rock like specimens with arched shaped
notches was studied experimentally and numerically considering the effects of cracks' …

There is limited applicability to the current method for testing the direct tensile strength of
rocks because it places stringent requirements on the testing equipment. This work suggests …

The stability of rock masses is greatly influenced by the voids and joints present in rock
masses; therefore, the peak strength, coalescence and failure process of rock masses with …

Rock bridges control the stability of rock slopes with intermittent joints. To better understand
the evolution of water-induced damage in rock bridges, we developed new, water-sensitive …

The rock–concrete interface serves as the weak point of concrete structures based on rocks;
the initial failure of the interface under stress waves can easily cause instability and failure of …

The damage evolution law and mechanical property weakening mechanism of jointed rock
mass under hydro-mechanical coupling are important scientific problems in deep rock mass …
