Mechanical damage and failure mechanisms of chlorite by molecular dynamics

Chlorite schist, a layered soft rock with low strength and significant water-induced softening, poses challenges for deeply buried underground projects due to large deformations and collapse during excavation. To address the limited understanding of its deformation and failure mechanisms, especially...
