Insights into Unloading Relaxation Mechanism of Columnar Jointed Basalt at the Baihetan Left Dam Foundation

Columnar jointed basalt (CJB), characterized by unique geometric and geological properties, poses a great challenge for geotechnical designs due to its unloading relaxation and damage during excavation. In this paper, the geometrical structure and field failures of the CJB exposed on Baihetan left d...
