Strength test of 3D printed artificial rock mass with pre-existing fracture

Discontinuities or structural planes are widely distributed in natural rock masses and significantly influence their geo-mechanical and geometric properties. Herein, a batch of rock samples, each with a single structural plane, is created using a 3D printer equipped with two robotic manipulators. On...
