A new shear strength criterion of three-dimensional rock joints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The presence of rock joints substantially reduces the rock mass strength. The deformability and stability of natural and engineered rock structures, such as rock slopes and underground caverns, are highly afected by rock joints along which sliding can

Stability Prediction of Residual Soil and Rock Slope Using Artificial Neural Network

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2022
A sudden downward movement of the geomaterial, either composed of soil, rock, or a mixture of both, along the mountain slopes due to various natural or anthropogenic factors is known as a landslide.

Microenvironmental Reprogramming by 3D Anisotropic Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Induces Nuclear Remodeling and Epigenetic Maturation of Chemically Induced Cardiomyocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

The formation of valley-wall rock glaciers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In recent years, the study of rock glaciers has increased remarkably. Substantive progress has been made, particularly in understanding the formation of rock glaciers that have developed adjacent to existing or former valley or cirque glaciers ...

Stability Analysis of the Soil-rock-mixture Slopes Under Different Rock Block Proportions and Dip Angles of Bedrock

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2019
In order to accurately analyze the stability of soil-rock-mixture slopes, a method which considers the random distribution, proportion of rock blocks, and the dip angles of bedrock is put forward.

Overhanging rock slope by design: An integrated approach using rock mass strength characterisation, large-scale numerical modelling and limit equilibrium methods

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2018
Overhanging rock slopes (steeper than 90°) are typically avoided in rock engineering design, particularly where the scale of the slope exceeds the scale of fracturing present in the rock mass.

An Energy-Based Discrete Element Modeling Method Coupled with Time-Series Analysis for Investigating Deformations and Failures of Jointed Rock Slopes

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The discrete element method (DEM) can be effectively used in investigations of the deformations and failures of jointed rock slopes. However, when to appropriately terminate the DEM iterative process is not clear.

Intrinsic Photoactive Star ZnPc–Poly(glutamate) Nanoplatforms for Multimodal Glioblastoma Therapy and Brain‐Targeted Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An intrinsic photoactive star‐shaped zinc phtalocyanine‐poly(L‐glutamic acid) (ZnPc‐PGA) nanoplatform for multimodal glioblastoma (GBM) therapy and brain‐targeted elivery. A ZnPc‐PGA‐based multifunctional theranostic nanocarrier platform enables image‐guided, multimodal GBM therapy. ZnPc‐PGA nanocarriers support the integration of fluorescence imaging,

Rock falls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This chapter discusses the factors leading to rock falls, outlines methods of hazard assessment and examines commonly used approaches to minimize the damage from the disaster. Rock fall is a natural disaster that causes significant economic loss to local

A method of 3D network modeling of discontinuities in rock slope

open access: yes矿业科学学报, 2018
Based on the non-contact photograph technique and the Monte-Carlo random theory, a new three-dimensional network modeling method of discontinuities in rock slopes is proposed that includes details about surveying discontinuities of rock slopes in the ...
