Different sedimentary zones in coral reefs lead to significant anisotropy in the pore structure of coral reef limestone(CRL),making it difficult to study mechanical behaviors.With X-ray computed tomography(CT),112 CRL...
The authors express their gratitude to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada for financial support through a Discovery Grant(Grant No.06408).
Vertical orthogonal joints are a common feature in shallow crustal rocks.There are several competing theories for their formation despite the ubiquity.We examined the exceptional exposures of orthogonal joints in flat...

HoekeBrown failure criterion is one of the widely used rock strength criteria in rock mechanics and mining engineering.Based on the theoretical expression of HoekeBrown parameter m of an intact rock,the parameter m ha...
The Cobourg limestone is a very low porosity rock consisting of lighter nodular regions that are predominantly calcite and darker regions consisting of calcite,quartz,dolomite,and an appreciable clay fraction.This pap...
