Crack evolution mechanism of stratified rock mass under different strength ratios and soft layer thickness: Insights from DEM modeling

Research on stratified rock masses, which are common geological formations, has primarily focused on their mechanical properties, while studies on crack evolution and microscopic damage mechanisms remain limited. This study addresses this gap by investigating the combined effects of strength ratios...
