Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue, “Composite rock mechanics and engineering”, aims to showcase the latest advances in geo-composite rock materials, with a specific focus on the failure rationale of different composited mineral particles on a macro-micro scale. Reinforcement techniques for ground and underground engineering, collapse monitoring and early warning in rock engineering, and stress measurement in rock, rock blasting and rock crushing engineering, and utilizations of different composite structures (such as reinforced concrete, composite metal mesh, steel and plastic support, etc.) are very important. High-end properties, such as strength, stiffness, impact resistance, and fatigue life, bearing a dynamic load capacity, are integral to the tunnel and other underground space. Original research papers, short communications, and review articles are solicited for this Special Issue.

To improve the long-term performance of concrete engineering in high-altitude areas, waste tire rubber was added to a concrete mix, and freeze–thaw and impact tests were conducted. The effects of waste tire rubber with different particle sizes (10, 20, 30 mesh) and freeze–thaw cycles (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125) on the dynamic mechanical properties of concrete materials were studied. The stress–strain curves, peak stress, and fracture morphology of the specimens were analyzed. The microstructure changes of the specimens were also analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed the following: (1) Both macroscopic and microscopic analysis results showed that the internal damage of rubber concrete specimens was smaller after freeze–thawing, and the integrity was better after impact, maintaining a loose but not scattered state. The addition of waste tire rubber significantly improved the material’s impact resistance to a certain extent. (2) As the impact pressure increased, the strain rate of the specimens increased linearly, and the dynamic peak stress was linearly positively correlated with the strain rate. (3) After 125 freeze–thaw cycles, the peak stress of the specimens with 30-mesh added rubber decreased significantly less than that of ordinary concrete under 0.3, 0.45, and 0.6 MPa impact pressure. The dynamic peak stress was higher than that of specimens with 10-mesh and 20-mesh added rubber, and the addition of 30-mesh rubber significantly improved the frost resistance and impact resistance of concrete materials. This study can provide new ideas for the engineering application of rubber concrete. Full article

Dry–wet cycling has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of rocks, and a series of problems such as rock collapse can occur in rock masses under long-term dry–wet cycling. Based on this, some mechanical tests were carried out on sandstone under different dry–wet cycles to analyze the evolution law of its physical and mechanical parameters. The results show that the internal connection of the mineral becomes looser, the drying quality of the sample decreases, and the water absorption quality increases gradually under different dry–wet cycles. The peak strength of the sample decreases first and then increases with increasing dry–wet cycles. The change trend of the elastic modulus and deformation modulus with the increase in dry–wet cycles are similar to the peak strength, which is mainly related to the change in the connection between particles. Furthermore, the specimens showed axial tensile failure under uniaxial action. With the increase in dry–wet cycles, the tensile crack on the surface of the specimen increased, and the fracture of the specimen became looser. The specimen exhibited block spalling when the number of dry–wet cycles was eight times. Full article
