Hydro-mechanical fault reactivation modeling based on elasto-plasticity with embedded weakness planes
In this paper, an elasto-plastic constitutive model is employed to capture the shear failure that may occur in a rock mass presenting mechanical discontinuities, such as faults, fractures, bedding planes or other planar weak structures. The failure may occur in two modes: a sliding failure on the we...
