The tensile strength is one of the main parameters in the design of concrete structures and
has an important influence on the cracking performance and durability of concrete materials …

The wing cracks are usually the first crack that appears in the loading process in studies
about fractured rocks, and a certain correlation exists between the wing crack propagation …

As the main component of concrete, aggregate has an important influence on the
performance of concrete. In this study, the influence of coarse aggregate content and surface …

The constitutive models of rock are essentially the general depictions of the mechanical
responses of rock mass under complex geological environments. Statistical distribution …

Understanding the rock creep behavior is necessary to determine the long-term strength and
safety of several geotechnical designs. There are several formulations to study the rock …

The freeze–thaw cycles and joint will deteriorate the strength characteristics of jointed rock
mass and may lead to geotechnical failures in cold regions. Former studies mainly focus on …

The rheological deformation of soft rock resulting from tunnel excavation can lead to
significant construction and safety challenges. In this study, a multiphase numerical model …

This paper presents a quantitative evaluation of the effect of end friction on the dynamic
mechanical response and damage evolution of concrete based on the coupled Discrete …

In this study, uniaxial compression experiments were conducted of granite specimens
containing two preexisting fissures to investigate the effect of bolts on mechanical behaviour …

The research on mechanical properties and fracture nalysed of rock joints under dynamic
loading disturbance is essential for the stability analysis of rock mass engineering. In this …
