Welcome to our research laboratory!

In GEO_SERL, we conduct experimental and numerical studies to understand the properties and behavior of various geomaterials.

30-deg. dipping NFs: c-phi reduced for all components. The Critical Strength Reduction Factor (SRF_c) is 1/28.

30 deg. dipping NFs: all parameters reduced the same for all components. SRF_c is 1/9.

120 deg. dipping NF: all parameters reduced the same for all components. SRF_c is 1/11.

30 deg. dipping NFs: all parameters reduced differently for NFs and rock matrix. SRF_c is 1/9 for NFs and 1/3 for the rock matrix.

120 deg. dipping NFs: all parameters reduced differently for NFs and rock matrix. SRF_c is 1/12 for NFs and 1/7 for the rock matrix.
