Numerical Study on Anisotropic Influence of Joint Spacing on Mechanical Behavior of Rock Mass Models under Uniaxial Compression

Mechanical properties of rock masses are dominated by the nonlinear response of joints and their arrangement. In this paper, combined influences of joint spacing (<i>s</i>) and joint inclination angle (<i>β</i>) on mechanical behavior of rock mass models with large open joint...
