  6. 4. Mechanical and Hydromechanical Behaviour of Hard Rock Joints. A laboratory study

    Author : Roger Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laboratory shear tests; constant normal stiffness; rock mechanics; hydromechanical behaivour; rock joints; replicas;

    Abstract : As a consequence of rock engineering works, the rock mass will deform due to stress changes. Most deformation occurs in the rock joints, in form of normal and shear strains. These deformations will also change the void geometry and thereby the joint aperture and fluid flow. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analytical and numerical approaches to estimate peak shear strength of rock joints

    Abstract : In Sweden, there exists a large number of dams. Many of them are founded on rock masses normally affected by the presence of sub-horizontal rock fractures, which makes sliding along rock joints under the dam foundation one of the most critical failure mechanism. READ MORE
