closure of rock joints

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1986
Previously we verified experimentally that a generalized form of the Greenwood‐Williamson theory describing the elastic contact of two random surfaces adequately predicts the closure of joints in fused silica glass samples. Here we present a similar analysis for experiments on rock.

Rock joints — BEM computations

1995
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the boundary element methods that allow the modeling of a continuum, which contains joints and faults. The two main methods of analysis described are the displacement discontinuity method and the multiregion boundary element method.

Progressive failure of jointed rocks

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2004
As jointed rocks consist of joints embedded within blocks of ‘intact’ rock, the behaviour of these rocks will depend on the behaviour of the joints and the intact rock blocks. In jointed rocks, there are two levels of heterogeneity: (1) the differences in properties between the rock blocks and the joints and (2) the heterogeneity within the rock blocks
