Investigating the scale-dependency of the geometrical and mechanical properties of a moderately jointed rock using a synthetic rock mass (SRM) approach

A synthetic rock mass (SRM) model coupling discrete fracture networks (DFNs) and a discrete element grain-based model (DEM) is used to characterize the mechanical properties of moderately jointed rockmasses under confined and unconfined conditions. The scale dependency of the rockmass properties is...
