Water-Weakening Effects on the Mechanical Behavior of Different Rock Types: Phenomena and Mechanisms

The presence of water strongly affects rock properties and would be related to a series of geological disasters. To understand water saturation effects on the mechanical behavior of different rock types and interpret the underlying mechanisms of differences in water sensitivity, three kinds of rocks...
