Microplane damage model for jointed rock masses
The paper presents a new microplane constitutive model for the inelastic behavior of jointed rock masses that takes into account the mechanical behavior and geometric characteristics of cracks and joints. The basic idea is that the microplane modeling of rock masses under general triaxial loading, including compression, requires the isotropic rock matrix and the joints to be considered as two d...
متن کاملNumerical Homogenization of Elastic Behavior of Fractured Rock Masses and Micro-cracked Materials by FEM
A review of recent works on numerical homogenisation of fractured rock masses gives witness of difficulties in defining rigorously and determining numerically the macroscopic strain and stress that are to be used in upscaling relations. Moreover, for finite-size domains, relations between macroscopic strain and stress are dependant on boundary conditions and this constitutes an additional diffi...
متن کاملVariation of Failure Mechanisms of Slopes in Jointed Rock Masses with Changing Scale
This paper demonstrates the ability of Shear Strength Reduction (SSR) analysis based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) to model the scale effects of discontinuity networks on the stability and failure mechanisms of slopes in blocky rock masses. Through three examples, it shows how these mechanisms depend on joint network geometry and change with increasing slope height. Introduction Scale Effe...
متن کاملNumerical probabilistic analysis for slope stability in fractured rock masses using DFN-DEM approach
Due to existence of uncertainties in input geometrical properties of fractures, there is not any unique solution for assessing the stability of slopes in jointed rock masses. Therefore, the necessity of applying probabilistic analysis in these cases is inevitable. In this study a probabilistic analysis procedure together with relevant algorithms are developed using Discrete Fracture Network-Dis...
متن کاملLaboratory and Numerical Modelling of a Jointed Rock Mass
Laboratory tests were performed on 54 large size specimens of jointed rock mass under uniaxial loading conditions. Based on this experimental study, a methodology has been suggested to estimate strength and tangent modulus of rock masses through a weakness coefficient. The methodology involves mapping of joints in the field and laboratory testing of intact rock specimens to arrive at rock mass ...
