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 …

Shear slip of rock joints under dynamic disturbance is a major factor causing disasters such
as landslides and cavern instability. To explore the dynamic shear deformation behaviors of …

The shear strength deterioration of bedding planes between different rock types induced by
cyclic loading is vital to reasonably evaluate the stability of soft and hard interbedded …

The mechanical damage characteristics of sandstone subjected to cyclic loading is very
significant to evaluate the stability and safety of deep excavation damage zones. However to …

This work presents experimental tests based on coal collected from a coal mine based
underground water reservoir (CMUWR). The mechanical responses of dry and water …

To promote the understanding of the shear behavior of intermittent joints subjected to cyclic
shear loads, this paper provides the experimental results of cyclic shear tests in the …

The deformation failure characteristics of marble subjected to triaxial cyclic loading are
significant when evaluating the stability and safety of deep excavation damage zones. To …

To explore the mechanical characteristics and failure mechanisms of rock shear fracture
under dynamic disturbance, the laboratory shear test and numerical simulation based on …

The shear strength of rock discontinuities strongly depends on the water content especially
when the rocks contain clay materials. To assess the decrease in the mechanical properties …

En-echelon joints occur widely in rock masses and are often subjected to dynamic loads
during earthquakes and rock bursts, which considerably influence stability in rock …
