Effect of thickness and inclination angle of weakly cemented interlayer on fracture development and fracture energy evolution of rock mass

Abstract In response to the common issue of instability and failure of weak interlayers under load in geotechnical engineering, a discrete element simulation study plan consisting of 25 schemes was designed, with the inclination and thickness of the interlayer as variables. Based on the test results...
