... Abstract The fractured rock surfaces were observed under different loading stages in creep shear by making use of computerized tomography (CT). Through the creep shear tests, the failure modes of the fractured rocks have been recognized based on the CT images. The study shows that the long...

... Abstract The surface damage and evolution of gouge materials in rock fractures or faults undergoing shear can change fracture properties in terms of shear strength and dilation, fluid transmissivity and retardation for contaminants. In order to conceptually understand fracture surface damage...
