Abstract:An in-depth recognition of the failure characteristics and scale of joints is of great significance for the stability assessment in rock engineering. Unfortunately, due to the close fitting of the upper and lower blocks of the joint under direct shear tests, the shear failure of joints are difficult to observe directly during the shear process. Thus, in this work, direct shear tests were carried out on sandstone joints subjected to three levels of normal stress while the acoustic emission (AE) in the rock is s… Show more
