Cross-Scale Analysis of Basalt Rock-Mass Deformation and Energy Evolution Based on In Situ Bearing Plate Tests and DEM Simulation
Reliable characterization of rock-mass deformability is essential for rock-supported infrastructure. This study combined six in situ rigid bearing plate tests with two-dimensional discrete element method (DEM) simulations implemented in Particle Flow Code (PFC2D) to investigate basalt deformation and energy evolution a...
