Study on the micro mechanism of damage caused by unloading confining pressure of silty mudstone

The excavation and unloading of silty mudstone slopes often precipitate slope instability and collapse. While abundant research addresses the macro deterioration of rock strength, the micro-damage mechanism of silty mudstone remains largely uncharted. To bridge this gap, our study innovatively utili...
