Simulation analysis of shear behavior of rock joint by distinct element method
Abstract
In this paper, simulation analysis for shearing behavior of rock discontinuity by distinct element method is proposed. The purpose is behavior of surface of discontinuity in the shear process and destruction situation of the roughness are clarified by numerical simulation. By using this analysis method, it was possible that the behavior of the test-piece model, the shear strength and the dilation behavior are analyzed. And, distribution situation of the internal stress in the shear process was clarified by visualizing the stress which affects each particle.
