Clarifying the shear creep characteristics of rock and scientifically analyzing its creep deformation law is the key to solving the problem of safe construction and long-term stab ...

Numerous tunnels are often sited in shallow depths and sloping strata due to topographic and geomorphological constraints, however, the evolutionary mechanisms of slip surfaces and instability ...

This report examines the state of practice and state of art in the characterization of fractured rock and the chemical and biological processes related to subsurface contaminant fate and transport. It ...
