Summary: | 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 easily occur. Natural rock joints are inherently rough with randomly distributed asperities that control
the shear behaviour. Predicting the shear strength of rough
rock joints is crucial for the stability analysis and support
design of rock-engineering structures. |
