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 …

Rock masses in high-elevation or cold areas are vulnerable to the joint results of freeze-
thaw (FT) action and dynamic loading, it is thus significant to evaluate the tensile mechanical …

The application of waste fibres in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) would reduce the
total material cost of UHPC, but it is still unclear whether industrial fibres can be replaced by …

The mechanical behaviour of different parts (top, middle and bottom) of concrete exposed to
monotonic and cyclic loading is investigated through laboratory testing. Strain evolution and …

Understanding the strength and deformation response of hard and soft rocks under cyclic
loading is very important for assessing fatigue in rock engineering structures. The effect of …

This paper documents investigations of the fatigue behaviour of strong burst-prone coal in
terms of energy dissipation, hysteresis and micro-seismicity. The energy dissipation …

The stability of coal walls (pillars) can be seriously undermined by diverse in-situ dynamic
disturbances. Based on a 3D particle model, this work strives to numerically replicate the …

Recycled tyre polymer (RTP) fibre has recently been gaining ever-increasing attention from
the scientific community as a promising substitute to synthetic fibres for cementitious …

In laboratory fracture toughness studies, the crack growth resistance of rock materials may
be influenced by different factors such as specimen geometry, loading conditions, and also …

Saturated rocks, widely existing in various deep underground engineering, are likely to be
encountered coupled static-dynamic loading. It is thus vital to acquire the combined effect of …
