Water-Induced Shear-Strength Degradation of Coal-Measure Rocks and Its Engineering Implications: A Case Study of the Fushun West Open-Pit Mine, China
Slopes excavated in coal-measure strata are prone to rainfall-induced landslides because water-induced disturbances progressively degrade rock-mass shear strength. This study investigated six coal-measure lithologies from the unloading zone of the Fushun West Open-Pit Mine using triaxial compression tests after separat...
