The support structure of deep buried tunnel often encountered bias load of during
construction in weak layered strata. This paper studied the support structure failure behavior …

The strength of rocks and soil is a crucial design parameter in engineering projects, and it
can be determined through various test methods such as uniaxial compressive strength …

A novel electro-hydraulic servo point load meter has been developed to address the
limitations of existing point load meters, which cannot provide continuous and uniform …

A new electro-hydraulic servo point load instrument was designed to address the problem
that the existing point load instrument cannot be loaded continuously and uniformly; different …

Laboratory experiments are an effective way to study the initiation and propagation of
hydraulic fractures for the complex stress level and structure of underground reservoirs …

In this paper the effects of particle size and model scale of concrete have been investigated
on point load index, tensile strength, and the failure processes using a PFC2D numerical …

Abstract Intermediate Geomaterials (IGMs) are natural formation materials that exhibit the
engineering behavior (strength and compressibility) between soils and rocks. The …
