... elements. The effect of multiple jointed rock mass is examined by adding a second joint set at specific orientations. Parametric analyses are carried out for the joint friction angle, for the stress field, in combination with varying joint orientation, joint density and joint stiffness. The analysis...

... joint set is studied. Parametric studies of S-wave propagation across one saturated joint set are performed. It is found that the magnitude of transmission coefficient across one saturated joint set is controlled by normalized shear joint stiffness, normalized joint viscosity, number of joints...

... Abstract: How to determine elastic and inelastic components in a load-displacement curve of jointed rock is discussed through the borehole jack test. We can establish the relations among elastic modulus of intact rock, deformation coefficient and joint stiffness in a brief equation...
