Strength Prediction Model for Cohesive Soil–Rock Mixture with Rock Content by Yang Sun, Jianyong Xin, Junchao He, Junping Yu, Haibin Ding, Yifan Hu

“…For the sample with an <i>α</i> of 0°, shear failure was inhibited, and the rock blocks tended to break more easily, while the samples with an <i>α</i> of 30° and 60° exhibited fewer fragmentations. (2) P_BV significantly affected the shear behaviors of the cohesive SRM. The peak deviatoric stress of the sample with an <i>α</i> of 0° was minimized at lower P_BV (<20%), while both the deformation modulus and peak deviatoric stress were larger at high P_BV (>60%). …”
