Paper presented at the ISRM European Rock Mechanics Symposium - EUROCK 2017, June 20–22, 2017
Paper Number: ISRM-EUROCK-2017-095
.... Introduction Failures in rock slopes are controlled by both rock material and discontinuities. In highly jointed rock mass with weak rock material, failure surface cuts through intact rock but in rock masses, with less number of joints and strong rock material, failure is controlled mainly by joint planes [1...

..., and joint surface condition are defined as fuzzy variables. The strength of jointed rock masses is then estimated by incorporating different combinations of three fuzzy inputs into Mamdani rule-based FIS model. To validate the accuracy of the model results, a comprehensive rock mass data is collected from...

... Abstract One of the most challenging tasks in rock mechanics is the accurate evaluation of deformability and strength characteristics of jointed rock masses. Attempts to characterise large-scale rock mass properties in the laboratory are seldom undertaken due to the difficulty of obtaining...

Since the underground structures are surrounded by jointed rock mass, the blast wave propagation in the rock mass is significantly influenced by the joints. The vastly existed joints in rock mass not only affect the mechanical properties...
