A Constitutive Model of Opened Rock Joints in the Field
Mechanical properties of rock joints govern the strength and deformational behaviour of a rock mass. The responses of a rock joint to shear and normal loadings highly depend on its surface properties, block size and matching state. Rock joints can become mismatched or opened due to underground excav...
