Structural Plane of Rock Mass Strength Characteristics and its Impact on Groundwater

Article Preview

Abstract:

The strength characteristic of discontinuity is one of the most important mechanical characteristics of rock mass, and its strength dominates the strength and deformation of joint rock mass. The underground water has an important influence on the strength of discontinuity. In this paper, the strength theory of joint rock mass was summarized and analyzed; further, two kinds of failure mode of joint rock mass which are joint shear failure and rock shear failure were proof. Considering the impact of underground water, the effective stress principle was introduced, and base on it, the joint shear failure strength rule of the saturated rock mass was built. When the influence of underground water on joint strength is studied, the shear strength formula has important theoretical and realistic significance.
