Reduction in strength and stiffness in rocks attributed to an increase in water content has
been extensively researched on a large variety of rock types over the past decades. Due to …

Abstract The utilization of Underground Pumped Storage Power Systems (UPSP) addresses
the growing need for energy storage in the face of increasing intermittent energy sources …

To fully understand the influence of water on rockburst proneness from energy storage
viewpoint of rock and to check the performance of energy-related rockburst proneness …

Water is a crucial factor that influences the mechanical behavior of rock and can induce
failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of water content and water …

Underground rock structures are frequently subjected to water erosion and dynamic
disturbance simultaneously. Herein, in order to study the coupled effects of water and high …

The presence of water strongly affects rock properties and would be related to a series of
geological disasters. To understand water saturation effects on the mechanical behavior of …

Water is believed to be a significant factor affecting the short-and long-term strength of rocks.
To further understand the effect of water on the mechanical behavior of rocks, we first …

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock is one of the essential data in engineering
planning and design. Correctly testing UCS of rock to ensure its accuracy and authenticity is …

Mechanical properties of rocks can significantly affect energy resource recovery and
development. Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Young's modulus (E) are key …

In underground rock engineering, rock structures at great depth are commonly subjected to
water infusion, static geo-stress as well as the dynamic disturbances. It is thus essential to …
