Experimental Study on the Damage and Deterioration Behaviour of Deep Soft Rock under Water-Rock Interaction by Zenghui Zhao, Hao Liu, Xianzhou Lyu, Lei Wang, Zhongxi Tian, Jiecheng Sun

“…In addition, the failure pattern of mudstone changes from overall splitting failure to block fragmentation failure. Due to ion-exchange adsorption and the wedging action of water molecules, the edge of contact between particles changes from staggered to smooth, which leads to the expansion of pores, the loosening of mudstone structures, and a decrease in mechanical strength. …”
