Influence of material bridges on shear strength of unfilled intermittent rock joints [PDF]
Građevinski Materijali i Konstrukcije, 2022 According to the well-known Jaeger's theory, the minimum possible rock mass shear strength as a discontinuum actually corresponds to the shear strength of rock joints.

Study on the Effect of Rock Strength on the Macro-Meso Shear Behaviors of Artificial Rock Joints
Geofluids, 2022 Understanding the shear properties of joints of rock masses is of great importance for engineering disaster prevention and control. In this paper, a systematic study of the macroscopic shear properties of joints of rock masses with different strengths is

Study on the size effect of the secant modulus of rocks containing multiple parallel joints
Frontiers in Materials, 2022 The secant modulus of the rock reflects the stiffness of the rock and the ability to resist deformation. There are significant differences in the secant modulus of the rock due to the different numbers of joints in the rock and the change in rock size ...

Some Remarks on the Use of Deterministic and Probabilistic Approaches in the Evaluation of Rock Slope Stability [PDF]
, 2020 The rock slope stability assessment can be performed by means of deterministic and probabilistic approaches. As the deterministic analysis needs only representative values (generally, the mean value) for each physical and geo-mechanical parameter ...

Seismic response of rock joints and jointed rock mass [PDF]
, 1996 Long-term stability of emplacement drifts and potential near-field fluid flow resulting from coupled effects are among the concerns for safe disposal of high-level nuclear waste (HLW). A number of factors can induce drift instability or change the near-field flow patterns.

Investigating rock mass failure precursors using a multi-sensor monitoring system. Preliminary results from a test-site (Acuto, Italy) [PDF]
, 2017 In the last few years, several approaches and methods have been proposed to improve early warning systems for managing risks due to rapid slope failures where important infrastructures are the main exposed elements. To this aim, a multi-sensor monitoring
