Strength And Deformation Behaviour Of Jointed Rocks : An Equivalent Continuum Model

Most rock masses encountered in civil and mining engineering projects contain pre-existing discontinuities. These discontinuities weaken the rock masses to an extent, which depends very much on the size of engineering structure relation to discontinuity spacing. The strength and deformability of roc...
