Abstract:Layered shales exist widely in nature and are often encountered during infrastructure construction. However, the mechanical response of layered shales is significantly affected by the existence of beddings, resulting in the obvious anisotropy characteristics in terms of deformation, strength, and failure mode. To clarify the underlying mechanisms of shale anisotropy that control the safety of engineering projects, the combined numerical simulation and theoretical analysis were conducted. The results show that … Show more
