Research on the Discontinuous Deformation Analysis for Hydro-mechanical coupling Model of the Fractured Rock Masses Xianshan Liu 1,2,a 1 School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing, 400045, China 2 Key Laboratory of New Technology for Construction of Cities in Mountain Area (Chongqing University), Ministry of Education, Chongqing, 400045, China aliuxsfromwh@163.com Keywords: Fractured rock mass; Complex condition; Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA); Normal deformation; Shear deformation Abstract: Fractured rock masses with many fractures will make the hydro-mechanical characteristics more complex.
Therefore, the forward coupling method based on DDA will provide a research technique for seepage control and stability assessment of the rock engineering.
In recent years, FEM has been widely applied to the rock engineering to simulate the hydro-mechanical characteristics.
Therefore, the hydro-mechanical method based on DDA not only reflected the mechanical characteristics of the rock masses, but also provided an important theoretical base and research technique for rock engineering.
And the forward model based on DDA had excellent contact criterion and convergence criterion, which made the method better practically simulate the hydro-mechanical coupling effect for the rock engineering.
