Water Saturation Effects on Shear Mechanical Behavior of Rough Structural Planes in Sandstone
Water exerts a significant influence on the mechanical integrity of rock masses through water–rock interaction, which is directly related to the stability of deep underground engineering projects. In this study, laboratory direct shear tests and discrete element method (DEM) numerical simulations were combined to inves...
