Shear Behavior and Shear‐Flow Coupling Mechanisms of Red‐Clay‐Infilled Joints Under High Water Pressure
Abstract
Rock joints are considered as a discontinuity between two continuous media. The presence of infilled joints influences the mechanical and hydraulic properties of joint rock. Understanding these properties is critical for assessing underground excavation safety, slope stability, and water inrush risk. However, few studies have analyzed the influence of high‐water pressure on red‐clay‐infilled joints. Most previous shear‐flow coupling studies have been limited to very low water pressures (
