Developing Two Hybrid Algorithms for Predicting the Elastic Modulus of Intact Rocks

Yuzhen Wang et al.

Summary: The intact rock elastic modulus (E) is a key parameter in the design of projects related to rock mechanics and engineering geology. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two meta-heuristic-driven approaches, ANFIS-DE and ANFIS-FA, in predicting E. The ANFIS-FA model outperformed ANFIS-DE, ANFIS, and NN models in terms of predicting E value, based on data collected from the Azad and Bakhtiari dam sites in Iran. Sensitivity analysis showed that P-wave velocity had a larger influence on E compared to other independent variables.

The effect of grain size, porosity and mineralogy on the compressive strength of tight sandstones: A case study from the eastern Ordos Basin, China

Yu Qi et al.

Summary: The study found that the compressive strength of sandstones decreases with increasing grain size, while the confined compressive strength declines with increasing porosity.

Adeyemi Emman Aladejare et al.

Summary: This study introduces a Bayesian approach for characterizing the correlation between uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Youngs' modulus (E) of rock.

Disturbed State Concept-Based Model for the Uniaxial Strain-Softening Behavior of Fiber-Reinforced Soil

Zhipeng Wu et al.

Summary: A uniaxial strain-softening constitutive model for fiber-reinforced soils is developed based on the disturbed state concept. The model considers the response in the intact state and fully adjusted state, and the apparent stress-strain curve is derived from a weighted average of these two responses. The model demonstrates that fiber content has a greater influence on reinforcement effect than fiber length. Evaluation of test data shows that the model predicts stress-strain curves in good agreement with experimental results, and accurately describes the fiber reinforcement effect.

Stress relaxation behaviour of marble under cyclic weak disturbance and confining pressures

Jin Yu et al.

Summary: The influence of cyclic weak disturbance on the stress relaxation of rock depends on the initial stress level and axial strain level, showing different nonlinear growth characteristics. Initially, the relaxation magnitude of weak disturbance increases with the increase of the initial stress level, while the stress relaxation rate nonlinearly decreases with axial strain levels. The weak disturbance effect presents a nonlinear growth characteristic of first decreasing and then increasing as the strain increases.
