NUMERICAL STUDY ON STATIC AND DYNAMIC FRACTURE EVOLUTION AROUND ROCK CAVITIES (2013)
Wang S. Y.
,
Sun L.
et al.
<p>In this paper, a numerical code, RFPA2D (rock failure process analysis), was used to simulate the initiation and propagation of fractures around a pre existing single cavity and multiple cavities in brittle rocks. Both static and dynamic loads were applied ...

HYDRAULIC TRANSMISSIVITY AND HEAT EXCHANGE EFCIENCY OF OPEN FRACTURES: A MODEL BASED ON LOWPASS LTERED APERTURES (2011)
Neuville A.
,
Toussaint R.
et al.
<p>Natural open joints in rocks commonly present multiscale self-affine apertures.The goal of this paper is to find a geometrical model of the complex aperture that describes at best the macroscopic properties (hydraulic conductivity, heat exchange) with the ...

HYDROTHERMAL COUPLING IN A SELF-AFFINE ROUGH FRACTURE (2010)
Neuville A.
,
Toussaint R.
et al.
The influence of the multiscale fracture roughness on the heat exchange when a cold fluid enters a fractured hot solid is studied numerically on the basis of the Stokes equation and in the limit of both hydrolubrication and thermolubrication. It is shown that ...

THE THICKNESS OF FAULTS: FROM LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS TO FIELD SCALE OBSERVATIONS (2006)
Chambon G.
,
Schmittbuhl J.
et al.
To assess the role of the fault thickness on its mechanical behavior, we first present the results of an experimental modeling of a thick fault core. Our laboratory setup consists in an annular simple shear apparatus in which we can apply very large shear ...

A SHEAR STRENGTH MODEL FOR IDEALISED INFILLED JOINTS UNDER CONSTANT NORMAL STIFFNESS (2005)
Indraratna B.
,
Welideniya S.
et al.
Infill materials found in natural rock joints may cause a reduction in joint shear strength, influencing rock mass stability. This paper reports a study aimed at developing a semi-empirical methodology for predicting the shear<br>strength of infilled joints, ...

CRACK PROPAGATION TRAJECTORIES FOR ROCKS UNDER MIXED MODE I-II FRACTURE (2005)
Al-Shayea N. A.
This study includes conducting diametrical compression tests on notched Brazilian disk specimens. Moreover, the effect of confining pressure and temperature on crack initiation and propagation were also studied. The experimental results were compared with ...

DEVELOPMENT OF SEDIMENT INFILLED ROCK JOINT MODELS AND IMPLICATIONS ON ROCKMASS STABILITY (2001)
Indraratna B.
,
Premadasa W. N.
et al.
Soil-infilled discontinuities adversely influence the stability of rockmass, because, the infi ll materials especially when saturated, drastically reduce the shear strength. The angle of shearing resistance of a discontinuity decreases significantly for increasing ...
