Effect of rock joints on lined rock caverns subjected to high internal gas pressure
The storage of hydrogen gas in lined rock caverns (LRCs) may enable the implementation of the first large-scale fossil-free steelmaking process in Sweden, but filling such storage causes joints in the rock mass to open, concentrating strains in the ...

This study aims at proposing a reasonable roughness parameter that can reflect the peak shear strength (PSS) of rock joints. Firstly, the contribution of the asperities with different apparent dip angles to shear strength is studied.

The uneven deformation of filled rock joints subjected to ground stress can easily cause instability in engineering rock masses. Fluctuations in morphology and filling are the main factors affecting the normal deformation of filled rock joints.

Influence of material bridges on shear strength of unfilled intermittent rock joints [PDF]
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
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

The stability control of the surrounding rock is greatly influenced by the rock joint’s shear mechanical characteristics and deformation failure mechanism. A numerical model of the dentate joints was created using a particle flow discrete element method (

Study on the size effect of the secant modulus of rocks containing multiple parallel joints
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 ...

Seismic response of rock joints and jointed rock mass [PDF]
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.

Despite their frequent natural occurrence and engineering encounter, heterogeneous rock joints (rock joints with different lithological characters on both sides of the joint surface) have been studied much less systematically. To study the shear behavior
