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.

An in-depth recognition of the failure characteristics and scale of joints is of great significance for the stability assessment in rock engineering. Unfortunately, due to the close fitting of the upper and lower blocks of the joint under direct shear ...

Thermal response of jointed rock masses inferred from infrared thermographic surveying (Acuto test-site, Italy) [PDF]
The Mediterranean region is affected by considerable daily and seasonal temperature variations due to intense solar radiation. In mid-seasons, thermal excursions can exceed tens of degrees thus influencing the long-term behaviour of jointed rock masses ...

A discrete element method code was used to investigate the damage characteristics of jointed rock masses under repetitive impact loading. The Flat-Joint Contact Model (FJCM) in the two-dimensional particle flow code (PFC2D) was used to calibrate the ...

Effects of fracture aperture and roughness on hydraulic and mechanical properties of rocks : implication of seismic characterization of fractured reservoirs [PDF]
Roughness and aperture are two important characteristic parameters controlling fluid flow in natural joints and fractures. It has been demonstrated by many authors that knowledge of roughness does not directly lead to that of aperture, and aperture ...

In underground rock engineering, water-bearing faults may be subjected to dynamic loading, resulting in the coupling of hydraulic and dynamic hazards. Understanding the interaction mechanism between the stress waves induced by dynamic loadings and liquid-

Experimental studies on the shear resistance of original coal-shale joint [PDF]
Purpose. Experimental study and theoretical modeling of the shear resistance of original coal-shale joint. Methods. A two-segment model was developed to describe the shear resistance-shear displacement curves obtained from the direct shear tests of ...

Representative sampling method for laboratory testing on shear strength of rock joints
The direct shear test is commonly used to determine the shear strength of rock joints. The measured shear strength, however, varies greatly with specimen positions due to the heterogeneity of rock joints.
