Can laser irradiation improve the strength of weak rock mass? by Xiaowei Feng, Peng Huang, Valter Carvelli, Gongshun Lin, Chuankai Zhu, Fengzhen He

“…Multi-technique observations and measurements were used to fully understand the peculiar modifications of the specimens under laser treatment, i.e. mechanical loading, acoustic emission (AE) monitoring, digital image correlation (DIC) strain field evaluation, infrared thermography (IRT) monitoring and X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning. The results showed that, in addition to the effects already demonstrated, laser irradiation can improve the strength of the soft rock, especially in the saturated state. …”
