An Advanced Shear Strength Criterion for Rock Discontinuities Considering Size and Low Shear Rate

The shear strength of the rock discontinuities under different shear rates is of great importance to evaluate the stability of rock mass engineering, which is remarkably influenced by the size effects induced by both the length and the undulated amplitude of discontinuities. An advanced shear streng...
