Physical simulation of asperity degradation using laboratorial shear tests of artificial fractures

Hydromechanical behaviour of sheared rock fractures is complex as it highly depends on the evolution of surface roughness after the degradation of asperities. A new fracture shear cell (FSC) which is able to conduct tests under large normal and shear loads was used in this study to investigate the e...
