Experimental and Numerical Study of the Failure Behavior of Intermittent Rock Joints Subjected to Direct Shear Load

Two series of intermittent rock joints containing three joints arranged along the central shear axis were considered in this study. The failure behavior under direct shear loads was investigated by means of both physical tests and numerical simulations. The cracking behavior was found to be distinct...
