Research on Shear Behavior and Crack Evolution of Symmetrical Discontinuous Rock Joints Based on FEM-CZM

The discontinuous joints are an essential type of natural joints. The normal force, joint persistency, and distribution exert great influences on the shear resistance of the rock joints. By simulating the uniaxial compression experiment and Brazilian test, the material parameters and the basic size...
