Impact of water–rock interaction on the pore structures of red-bed soft rock

Abstract The physical and mechanical properties of the reservoir bank slope are affected by the water–rock interaction. However, few studies considered the impact of long-term water–rock interaction on the evolution law of mesostructure. Therefore, in this study, the water–rock interaction test was...
