Application of the Mohr-Coulomb Yield Criterion for Rocks with Multiple Joint Sets Using Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua 2D (FLAC2D) Software

The anisotropic behavior of a rock mass with persistent and planar joint sets is mainly governed by the geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the joints. The aim of the study is to develop a continuum-based approach for simulation of multi jointed geomaterials. Within the continuum methods,...
