Rock engineering is highly susceptible to cyclic loads resulting from earthquakes, quarrying
or rockbursts. Acquiring the fatigue properties and failure mechanism of rocks is pivotal for …

The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive state of the art of fatigue and cyclic
loading of natural rock materials. Papers published in the literature are classified and listed …

To deeply understand the rock failure characteristics under actual engineering condition, in
which static geo-stress and dynamic disturbance usually act simultaneously, impact tests …

After the excavation of deep underground engineering, the complex 3D high-stress
redistribution occurs in the surrounding rock, resulting in deterioration of mechanical …

Characteristics of energy accumulation, evolution, and dissipation in uniaxial cyclic loading
and unloading compression of 30 sandstone rock specimens under six different loading …

In recent years, many studies have shown that it is meaningful to place rocks under stress
paths corresponding to various loading and unloading conditions. However, the deformation …

This study investigates the effect of adding different types of fibers on the microstructure and
the mechanical behavior of cementitious composites, in particular on UHPC. These fibers …

Considering the linear energy dissipation law under uniaxial compression, a damage
characterization of rocks including the compression energy dissipation coefficient is …

To explore the mechanism of frequency on the evolution of deformation parameters, triaxial
compression tests under multi-level loading were carried out at different frequencies. The …

The rock mass failure process is characterized by several distinct deformation stages which
include crack initiation, crack propagation and coalescence. It is important to know the stress …
