Multi-dimensional size effects and representative elements for non-persistent fractured rock masses: A perspective of geometric parameter distribution

Multi-dimensional size effects and representative elements for non-persistent fractured rock masses: A perspective of geometric parameter distribution

This study takes a fractured rock mass in the Datengxia Hydropower Station, China as an example to analyze the size effects and determine the representative elementary sizes. A novel method considering geometric parameter distributions is proposed in this work. The proposed method can quickly and si...
