Characterization of the permeability evolution of hard and soft rocks under hydro‐mechanical coupling conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The permeability variation of rocks during complete stress–strain processes was investigated. A mathematical model describing the influence of rock damage on permeability was constructed. The permeability–stress relationship between soft rock and hard rock was proposed.

Comparisons of soil suction induced by evapotranspiration and transpiration of S. heptaphylla [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
For a given evapotranspiration (ETr), both soil evaporation and plant transpiration (Tr) would induce soil suction. However, the relative contribution of these two processes to the amount of suction induced is not clear. The objective of this study is to

Strain‐based modeling and analysis for rock blasting and geomechanics applications

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a novel strain‐based modeling approach for blasting and geomechanical applications, using measurable variables like particle velocity, strain, and displacement. By bypassing complex constitutive relations, strain‐based models capture critical blasting trends and full‐blast design parameters with minimal calibration.

Effects of joint geometric configurations on cyclic shear behavior of intermittent joints under constant normal stiffness conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The present manuscript explored the effects of joint configurations on the cyclic shear behavior of intermittent joints for the first time. The cyclic shear response, shear strength degradation, dilation characteristics evolution, frictional property, fractal dimension, and dissipative energy were further analyzed during shear cycles, which is crucial ...

Dynamic Prediction of Longitudinal Settlement of Existing Tunnel Using ConvRes-DLinear Model with Integration of Undercrossing Construction Process Information

open access: yesGeosciences, 2023
Undercrossing construction can cause severe structural deformation of the above existing tunnel in operation. The induced longitudinal differential settlement between the segments can pose a huge risk to running subways, hence it is of great importance ...

Experimental analysis of 3D cracking in drying soils using ground-penetrating radar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper describes the capabilities of a novel technique to investigate crack formation and propagation in drying soils. The technique is a relatively simple, non-destructive indirect technique using a ground-penetrating-radar (GPR) system to detect ...

Probability prediction of true‐triaxial compressive strength of intact rocks based on the improved PSO‐RVM model

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this work, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and develop an improved PSO‐relevance vector machine (RVM) model as a substitute for traditional true‐triaxial testing. The model's high prediction accuracy was validated through comparisons with two other machine learning methods and five three‐dimensional Hoek–Brown type

Numerical investigation of the correlations of hydraulic and elastic characteristics in diverse carbonate rock types

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
We use the linear Boolean model and the discrete Fourier transformation approach to generate various carbonate rocks. The lattice Boltzmann method and the finite element method are applied to calculate permeability and elastic wave velocity, respectively.
