The non-linear mechanical behaviors of bimrock under static loading conditions have been
widely studied currently. To data, however, the fatigue responses of bimrock with various …

To accurately predict coal burst hazards and estimate the failure of coal pillars in
underground coal mining systems, it is of great significance to understand the mechanical …

This paper discusses the multi‐level cyclic triaxial testing of bimsoils (block‐in‐matrix soils),
which are chaotic, mechanically and/or spatially heterogeneous geological masses in …

Construction and building of engineering structures in geomaterials with soil and rock
mixture (SRM) are often challenging tasks for engineers. While the effects of rock block …

In studies of soil-rock mixtures (SRM), scale effect due to limitations of particle size often
causes laboratory research results to differ from on-site measurements. To explore the …

Most slow-moving landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) region of China are
characterized by pre-existing shear surfaces. The large deformation within the shear zones …

Bimrocks are a kind of rocks in which blocks are randomly distributed in a matrix. Despite
their wide distribution in nature, their significant effects on the failure of rock structures such …

Heterogeneous rock masses composed of strong rock blocks embedded in a weaker matrix
belong to complex formations and are often referred to as bimrocks (block-in-matrix-rocks) …

Soil and rock mixture (SRM) is ubiquitous in nature and also an excellent engineering fill
material. Accurate evaluation of mechanical characteristics of SRM is of vital importance in …

Investigating the mechanical properties of sandy cobble strata is essential for optimizing the
design and construction of urban tunnels, thereby controlling ground deformation and …
