Behavior of Rock in Slopes

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2000
The behavioral modes to which a rock slope is susceptible are many and complex. This article discusses a long but not exhaustive list of common failure styles, highlighting observable characteristics that distinguish one from another. Slopes in both strong and weak rock masses are considered.

Anisotropic Dilatant Behavior of Rock Fractures

GeoCongress 2012, 2012
Among the constitutive models for rock fractures developed over the years, Barton's empirical model has been widely used because it is easy to apply and includes several important factors associated with fracture characteristics. Different researchers investigated anisotropic behavior of rock joints experimentally.

Relaxation and the behavior of failed rock

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1972
Abstract A servocontrolled hydraulic testing machine was used to conduct uniaxial compression tests which demonstrate the time-dependent behavior of a brittle porous rock such as tuff. The applied strain rate ranged from 10−2 to 10−7/sec. The strength increased as applied strain rate was increased, and strength variation was confined to the range ...

Predicted behavior of a subway station in weathered rock

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1997
Abstract Sao Paulo Subway's Fourth Line will have part of it's underground excavation placed in a weathered gneiss rock mass, fractured, highly altered, and with vertical ubiquitous joints, closely spaced. Pinheiros Underground Station will be excavated in unfavourable geotechnical conditions. Behavior of this excavation was predicted using numerical

Transient Creep and Semibrittle Behavior of Crystalline Rocks

pure and applied geophysics, 1978
We review transient creep and semibrittle behavior of crystalline solids. The results are expected to be pertinent to crystalline rocks undergoing deformation in the depth range 5 to 20 km, corresponding to depths of focus of many major earthquakes.
