Research on Soft Rocks for the Construction of Roadbeds for High-Speed Railroad: Effect of Water Soaking Environment by Xiangdong Zhang, Jie Geng, Yuebo Xu, Zhongchao Zhou, Shuai Pang

“…The MIDAS/GTS NX software was used to develop a three-dimensional finite model to simulate the settlement patterns of roadbeds developed in the presence of natural water, saturated water, and muddy sandstone reinforcements. The experimental results have been presented and discussed. (1) When the filling rate corresponding to the cement slurry is 32%, the uniaxial compressive strength of muddy sandstone containing natural water reaches 3.32 MPa, which is approximately 5 times higher than the strength of muddy sandstone devoid of cement slurry. (2) The water absorption energy of the reinforced muddy sandstone was analyzed from the perspective of saturated water content. …”

Acoustic-Mechanical Responses of Intact and Flaw-Contained Rock Deformation under Uniaxial Compression: A Comparison by Gui-Lin Wang, Liang Zhang, Zhen Wang, Jian-Zhi Zhang, Fan Sun, Pei-Yong Qiu

“…The obtained results show that the preexisting flaw has a strong influence on the mechanical properties, fracture behavior, and AE characteristic of sandstone specimens. In detail, the stress-strain curves show that no significant stress jump occurs at prepeak and postpeak points for intact sandstone specimens; however, the flaw-contained sandstone specimens exhibit distinct stress jump during the entire loading process. …”
