Numerical 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 کاملLiroo dam abutments leakage analysis using DFN-DEM hybrid method
The Liroo Dam is one of the largest concrete dams in the country under study. The objective is to investigate and estimate the amount of water leakage from joints and fractures in dam abutments using numerical method. Interconnected fractures are the main pathways of water flow into the abutments and control the rock hydraulic behavior. Considering the stochastic properties of the geometric par...
متن کاملInvestigating Contaminated Sites on Fractured Rock Using the DFN Approach
This presentation provides an overview of a major field focused program of studies aimed at improved investigation methods and understanding organic contaminant source zones and plumes in fractured porous sedimentary rock. This research began in 1997, when intensive field studies were initiated at a TCE contaminated site on steeply dipping and faulted sandstone in California. Now, with collabor...
متن کاملDetermination of residual strength parameters of jointed rock masses using the GSI system
The Geological Strength Index (GSI) system, proposed in 1995, is now widely used for the estimation of the rock mass strength and the rock mass deformation parameters. The GSI system concentrates on the description of two factors, rock structure and block surface conditions. The guidelines given by the GSI system are for the estimation of the peak strength parameters of jointed rock masses. The...
متن کاملMicroplane 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...
