Mechanical behavior of rock with a single non-persistent joint was studied by numerical simulations using two-dimensional Rock Failure Process Analysis (RFPA 2D ) software. A non-persistent joint within the model specimens was arranged with different number of joint segments, but keeping the overall length of the joint same for all cases and the simulations were repeated for three overall...
As jointed rocks consist of joints embedded within intact rock blocks, their behavior depends on the behaviors of the joints and the intact rock blocks. In a jointed rock, there are two levels of heterogeneity within the jointed rocks due to the differences in properties between the rock blocks and the joints at a macro-scale, and within the intact rock blocks due to difference in the randomly-distributed...
