Investigating the Failure Mechanism of Jointed Rock Slopes Based on Discrete Element Method

This paper presents a comprehensive engineering method to investigate the failure mechanism of the jointed rock slopes. The field geology survey is first carried out to obtain the slope joint data. A joint network model considering the structural complexity of rock mass is generated in the PFC softw...
