The damage evolution process and failure mechanisms of the concrete-rock interface under different loading conditions are investigated. The results indicate that under varying normal stresses, the shear stress-shear displacement curve exhibits an initial increase followed by a gradual decrease, with peak shear strength ranging from 1.074 MPa to 2.073 MPa and a maximum error of 8.48%, meeting engineering requirements. The damage evolution process of the concrete-rock interface under different normal forces was simulated and compared with in-situ direct shear test results, confirming the accuracy of the simulation. The failure modes of the concrete-rock interface under different loading conditions can be categorized into three types: bonding interface failure, mixed shear failure, and rock failure. The failure mode is closely related to the magnitude of normal stress\u2014as normal stress increases, the area of shear fracture along the bonding interface expands, and the fracture surface becomes smoother. The findings provide a theoretical basis for the design, anti-sliding stability, and risk analysis of similar concrete gravity dams.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma18122718","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,10]],"date-time":"2025-06-10T03:54:18Z","timestamp":1749527658000},"page":"2718","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Numerical Simulation of In-Situ Direct Shear Test and Damage Failure Mechanism Study of Concrete-Bedrock Cementation Surface"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Hexin","family":"Ye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Technology Center of Water Resources and Hydropower, Guangzhou 510635, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinlin","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Research Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower, Guangzhou 510635, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Water Conservancy, North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Zhengzhou 450046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Water Conservancy, North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Zhengzhou 450046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kelei","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Water Conservancy, North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Zhengzhou 450046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pearl River Water Resources Research Institute, Pearl River Water Resources Commission, Guangzhou 510611, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenxuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Water Conservancy, North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Zhengzhou 450046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1016\/j.conbuildmat.2018.04.006","article-title":"Laboratory test on foamed concrete-rock joints in direct shear","volume":"173","author":"Zhao","year":"2018","journal-title":"Constr.
