FailurePropertiesofFracturedRockMassesasAnisotropic

Introduction
Itiscommonlyacknowledgedthatrockmassesalwaysdisplaydiscontinuoussurfacesofvarioussizesandorientations,usuallyreferredtoasfracturesorjoints.Sineethelatterhavemuchpoorermechanicalcharacteristicsthantherockmaterial,theyplayadecisiveroleintheoverallbehaviorofrockstructures,whosedeformationaswellasfailurepatternsaremainlygovernedbythoseofthejoints.Itfollowsthat,fromageomechanicalengineeringstandpoint,designmethodsofstructuresinvolvingjointedrockmasses,mustabsolutelyaccountforsuch

Themoststraightforwardwayofdealingwiththissituationistotreatthejointedrockmassasanassemblageofpiecesofintactrockmaterialinmutualinteractionthroughtheseparatingjointinterfaces.Manydesign-orientedmethodsrelatingtothiskindofapproachhavebeendevelopedinthepastdecades,amongthem,thewedlnown‘‘blocktheory,''whichattemptstoidentifypoten-
