On the shear failure of incipient rock discontinuities under CNL and CNS boundary conditions : insights from DEM modelling
This paper presents a numerical investigation of the effects of boundary conditions, i.e., constant normal load (CNL) and constant normal stiffness (CNS), on the failure mechanism of incipient rock discontinuities in direct shear. A series of numerical simulations were performed using the particle-...
