To probe the difference between static-driven and dynamically triggered rockbursts, three
types (static-driven rockburst, SDR; pulse-disturbance rockburst, PUDR; period-disturbance …

Natural rock is a very common building material, and its stability plays an important role in
the safety and durability of tunnels, rock slopes, and other projects. However, tunnels and …

The strength of sandstone decreases significantly with higher water content attributing to
softening effects. This scenario can pose a severe threat to the stability of reservoirs of …

The karst mountainous areas of southwestern China are widely distributed and affluent in
mineral resources. However, mining activities induced numerous large-scale landslides in …

Rocks are continuously affected by dry–wet cycles, which leads to intensified weathering
and deterioration of the mechanical properties and often triggers engineering disasters. This …

Recent infrastructure development in China and other developing countries has attracted
global attention. As a control project of traffic engineering, tunnels also have rapidly …

At present, hydrofracture technology is mainly used for shale gas exploration and
exploitation, and the effect of volume fracturing is tightly linked to the mechanical properties …

Aiming at the problem of temperature-mechanics-chemical (TMC) action encountered by
rocks in underground engineering, sandstone was selected as the sample for acid corrosion …

Highly mineralized and acid/alkaline groundwater is critical to the short-or long-term stability
of fractured rock masses in geological engineering. Understanding the impact of water-rock …

The acidic groundwater poses a significant threat to the durability of engineering structures,
primarily due to the combined effects of acid erosion. As an important material used in …
