A Structural Failure Model for the Rock Mass with a Discontinuous Weak Structural Plane

Abstract:

A structural failure model is presented for the rock mass with a discontinuous weak structural plane. The present model takes into account the effect of weakening of both deformation and strength parameters. And it can degenerates into classical Mohr-Coulomb model or Jaeger model according to corresponding conditions. The numerical tests by Particle Flow Code demonstrate that the capability and performance of the proposed model in capturing behaviors of the mass rock.
