Effect of mesostructure on quasi-static and dynamic tensile strength of rock: insights from a breakable grain-based model

Abstract Accurately predicting rock tensile strength under varying strain rates is crucial for tunnel construction, as rock often fails in tension. This study examines the effect of rock mesostructure on tensile strength using a breakable grain-based model (GBM) implemented within the UDEC software....
