Digital image correlation (DIC) is an optical technique used to measure surface
displacements and strains in materials and structures. This technique has demonstrated …

Rock masses contain various discontinuities such as flaws, cracks, join sets and more, each
significantly affect the crack initiation, propagation and coalescence patterns of new cracks …

Rock masses consist of various discontinuities that significantly affect the crack development
patterns which dominates the ultimate failure of geostructures. The interaction of the pre …

The tunnels excavated in a mountain body interact with the jointed rock mass under
compression-shear and present a complex stress state. The joints often have a significant …

Digital-image correlation (DIC) is a deformation-measurement technique used to determine
rock and soil mechanics. We review DIC tests of rock and soil, with data categorized …

A systematic hybrid modelling approach for heterogeneous geomaterials with irregular block
inclusions is creatively developed based on a deep learning technique, computational …

Mine tailings-based geopolymer was proved to be successfully created with enhanced
strength for potentially construction and building materials applications. Through …

The fracturing properties and acoustic characteristics of heterogeneous and matrix-inclusion
rocks are crucial to the safety of underground infrastructures and mining projects under …

As a potential alternative of Portland cement concrete for construction and building
applications, solid-like geopolymer made by alkali-activation of the mine tailings (MTs) …

This paper deals with the acquisition of the crack evolution and propagation behaviors of the
compacted tailing soils from full-field displacement fields by incorporating two-dimensional …
