Experimental Investigation and Numerical Simulation on the Crack Initiation and Propagation of Rock With Pre-Existing Cracks
Rock mass behavior is determined not only by the properties of the rock matrix but also mostly by the pre-existing cracks in the rock mass. Before the overall failure of rock, the crack initiation and propagation around the tip of pre-existing cracks (i.e., pre-crack) will occur and contribute to ro...
