Numerical Simulation for Shear Characteristics of Rock-Mass Structural Plane

Article Preview

Abstract:

The characteristics of structural plane are very important to the stability of rock mass.In this paper,the stress and deformation characteristics of structural plane under direct shear conditions are analyzed based on FLAC3D code.And the influence of structural plane inhomogeneity to shear test was discussed.The results obtained in this paper indicate that, with the increase of normal stress, the shear strength of structural plane is constantly increasing,and the tow of them presents linear feature significantly. The normal displacement and shear displacement increase with the rise of the normal stress too. The peak shear strength increases gradually on the condition of uneven friction angle in the interface. This situation changes smaller when the discrete degree of friction angle is small. The peak shear strength increases significantly when the discrete degree of friction angle is big,and the stress-displacement curve exhibits a nonlinear characteristics before yield.
