Abstract The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to reinforce cemented rockfill is attracting considerable interest due the remarkable improvement in performance and extremely low dose added nanomaterial. To reveal enhancement mechanism CNTs on rockfill, acoustic emission (AE) characteristics specimens during Brazilian split test were investigated. results demonstrated that improved tensile strength...
