Degradation Behavior and Damage Evolution Model of Sandstone under Coupled Stress-Temperature-Chemical Action

Seepage from water-rich strata and persistent roof water inflow during coal mining can substantially weaken the mechanical properties of coal and rock masses. Elevated in situ stress and geothermal temperature in deep roadways further accelerate deterioration and increase the risk of engineering instability. In this st...

Study on the damage evolution of red-bed soft rock in foundation pits under the coupled influence of drying-wetting cycles and cyclic disturbance

Taking argillaceous sandstone collected from foundation pits as the research object, laboratory tests including drying-wetting cycles, uniaxial compression, cyclic disturbance, and acoustic emission (AE) monitoring were conducted to investigate the deterioration and fatigue damage evolution laws. The results show tha...

Fracture evolution of micritic bioclastic limestone under Brazilian splitting: a comparison between natural and water-saturated states

The tensile strength properties and the initiation and propagation of tensile cracks within micritic bioclastic limestone–which forms the surrounding rock mass at the tunnel exit of the Altash Water Conservancy Project–pose a threat to engineering stability. To investigate the differences in tensile strength and stress...

Effects of Formation and Injection Parameters on Multi-Field Damage Evolution of Hot Dry Rock During CO2 Fracturing

Low-temperature CO2 fracturing generates obvious thermal tensile disturbance via reservoir–fluid temperature difference, which is an efficient stimulation technology for hot dry rock (HDR). In this work, a two-dimensional plane-strain thermo-hydro-mechanical-damage (THMD) coupling numerical model considering granite me...

Water-Induced Shear-Strength Degradation of Coal-Measure Rocks and Its Engineering Implications: A Case Study of the Fushun West Open-Pit Mine, China

Slopes excavated in coal-measure strata are prone to rainfall-induced landslides because water-induced disturbances progressively degrade rock-mass shear strength. This study investigated six coal-measure lithologies from the unloading zone of the Fushun West Open-Pit Mine using triaxial compression tests after separat...

Thermal-Damage-Controlled Rotary Cutting of High-Temperature Rocks: Evolution Characteristics and Energy Mechanisms

Deep tunnelling, mineral extraction and geothermal development increasingly encounter high-temperature rock masses whose thermal damage changes strength, deformation, fracture behaviour and the response of mechanical rock-breaking systems. This study investigates the evolution characteristics and energy mechanisms of r...
