This paper deals with the statistical analysis of the compressive strength and of the elastic
modulus of jointed rock masses under different confining pressures. Properties of the rock …

This paper deals with the statistical analysis of the uniaxial compressive strength and of the
elastic modulus of jointed rock masses under different confining pressures. Properties of the …

This paper deals with the applied math analysis of the uniaxial compressive strength and of
the modulus of a rock masses below totally different confining pressures. Properties of the …

Rock, like soil, is sufficiently distinct from other engineering materials that the process of
design in rock is very complex. In rock structures, the applied loads are often less significant …

The objective of the paper is to derive the strength and modulus properties of rockmass as a
function of intact rock strength and joint factor. The joint factor reflects the combined effect of …

In the present study, a constitutive model of jointed rock masses is presented which reflects
the size, density, orientation and connectivity of joints as well as their mechanical properties …

An assessment of the strength and deformational response of jointed rock masses is an
essential requirement in the site selection, design and successful execution of Civil and …

The behavior of jointed rock mass is very complex and is influenced by many factors such as
location of joints, joint frequency, joint orientation and joint strength. A thorough review of …

The strength evaluation methods conventionally applied for rocks do not consider
progressive failure. The authors explained these effects based on the non-linear strength …

In this paper, regularly jointed rock masses are regarded as composed of isotropic rock
elements and equivalent anisotropic jointed rock elements. On the basis of analyzing the …
