Modifying the loess foundation effectively solved the deformation and settlement of the building foundation and improved its stability. However, burnt rock-solid waste was often used as filling ...

To study the mechanical properties of different types of rocks under impact loading, static mechanical parameter tests and split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) dynamic impact experiments were conducted ...

A study looking at a small region in Japan has shown that the properties of fault zone rocks really matter for the generation of earthquakes. Earthquakes occur along fault lines between continental ...
