This paper provides a comprehensive exploration of the research progress in the field of
rock statistical damage constitutive models. The introduction section highlights the …

To study the effect of loading rate on the mechanical properties of salt rock, uniaxial
compression tests and acoustic emission tests at different loading rates were carried out on …

The dynamic compressive strength (DCS) of frozen-thawed rock influences the stability of
rock mass in cold regions, especially when rock masses are possibly disturbed by dynamic …

Predicting deformation and failure of rock is vital to ensure the safety of engineering in cold
regions. The existing constitutive models were established based on specific freeze–thaw …

The crack closure effect of rock materials plays a key role in the evaluation of its
compressive mechanical behavior. Based on the effective medium theory, an exponential …

Natural stones used as construction materials in outdoor applications and the rock
environment in rock engineering applications are subject to weakening such as freeze-thaw …

Rocks in cold region under in situ stress were simplified into four parts: freeze–thaw
damage, load damage, weaken damage, and non-damage units. The damage units bore …

The stability of rock engineering in cold regions is deteriorated by the day–night and
seasonal freeze–thaw environments. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a damage …

Under confining pressure, rocks transition from brittle failure to plastic failure, and residual
strength exists after complete failure. However, in the process of establishing rock damage …

In the construction of tunnel engineering in cold regions, the good bonding between
shotcrete and surrounding rock is the premise to ensure the stability of engineering support …
