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 ...

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 ...

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-

Significant uncertainties remain regarding the field assessment of the peak shear strength of rock joints. These uncertainties mainly originate from the lack of a verified methodology that would permit prediction of rock joints’ peak shear strength ...

Study on the size effect of elastic modulus of rock considering the joint spacing
The relationship between the rock’s elastic modulus and deformation characteristics, affected by joint spacing and ductility, was not determined. This study investigates the size effect of the elastic modulus of rock with parallel joints using numerical ...

A review of shear strength models for rock joints subjected to constant normal stiffness [PDF]
The typical shear behaviour of rough joints has been studied under constant normal load/stress (CNL) boundary conditions, but recent studies have shown that this boundary condition may not replicate true practical situations.

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.

A new shear strength criterion of three-dimensional rock joints
The presence of rock joints substantially reduces the rock mass strength. The deformability and stability of natural and engineered rock structures, such as rock slopes and underground caverns, are highly afected by rock joints along which sliding can

The Effect of Horizontal Smooth Joints on Strength and Deformability of Sandstone [PDF]
The Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) and deformability of jointed rock are required to design structures on or in jointed rock mass. These rock masses depend on the number and orientation of joints. In this study, horizontal smooth joints were created
