Numerical Simulation of Mechanical Properties of Irregular Columnar Jointed Rock Mass

Columnar jointed rock masses (CJRM) are characterized by significant anisotropy. The mechanical properties of CJRM are complicated by the presence of columnar joints. In this paper, based on the Voronoi random graph generation algorithm, the irregular CJRM numerical model is established, in which co...
