Direct shear (DS) is a common geotechnical laboratory test used to determine strength and
deformation properties of rock discontinuities, such as normal and shear stiffness, peak and …

The permeability evolution of fractal-based two-dimensional discrete fracture networks
(DFNs) during shearing under constant normal stiffness (CNS) boundary conditions is …

The shear behaviour of concrete-rock interfaces has been the aim of extensive research in
geotechnical engineering applications such as rock socketed piles, rock bolts and concrete …

Shear properties of the rock-concrete interface are critical to the stability of deep
underground engineering projects, particularly in high-temperature environments caused by …

Despite their frequent natural occurrence, filled discontinuities under constant normal
stiffness (CNS) boundary conditions have been studied much less systematically, perhaps …

The research on mechanical properties and fracture nalysed of rock joints under dynamic
loading disturbance is essential for the stability analysis of rock mass engineering. In this …

The shear process can significantly affect the hydro-mechanical properties of rock fractures.
In the present study, a new approach is developed to predict the direct shear process of rock …

In this context, we experimentally studied the anisotropic mechanical behaviors of rough-
walled plaster joints using a servo-controlled direct shear apparatus under both constant …

Rock bolts are widely used in rock engineering projects to improve the shear capacity of the
jointed rock mass. The bolt inclination angle with respect to the shear plane has a …

Based on the random distribution patterns of rock fragmentation (RF), a concrete–rock shear
model (CRSM) considering RF was developed through the application of statistical theory …
