A Critical Review of Current States of Practice in Direct Shear Testing of Unfilled Rock Fractures Focused on Multi-Stage and Boundary Conditions
Direct shear (DS) is a common geotechnical laboratory test used to determine strength and deformation properties of rock discontinuities, such as normal and shear stiffness, peak and residual shear strength, and dilation. These are used as inputs for discontinuous geomechanical numerical models to s...
