Assessment of block size distribution in fractured rock mass and its influence on rock mass mechanical behavior

The response of rock mass to engineering activities related to environment greatly depends on the scale of rock mass. Therefore, the scale dependency of rock mechanical behavior under different rock mass conditions is investigated in this research. As a crucial parameter, the volume of the block pro...
