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...

A Nonlinear Hoek–Brown Criterion for Bedded Rock with Brittle–Ductile Transition

The conventional Hoek–Brown (H–B) failure criterion does not explicitly account for the combined effects of anisotropy and high confining pressure on rock strength. In bedded rocks, anisotropic mechanical behavior arises from the orientation-dependent weakening induced by bedding planes, which breaks the stress symmetr...
