Failure Process Simulation of Interlayered Rocks under Compression

Anisotropy in strength and deformation of rock mass induced by bedding planes and interlayered structures is a vital problem in rock mechanics and rock engineering. The modified rigid block spring method (RBSM), initially proposed for modeling of isotropic rock, is extended to study the failure proc...
