MODULI OF JOINTED ROCK MASSES. LARGE ROCK CAVERNS - PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM, HELSINKI, FINLAND, 25-28 AUGUST 1986. VOLUME 2

The compliance matrix and moduli of jointed rock masses are presented using the secant compliances for the closing, opening and shearing of discontinuities. The method enables the deformation modulus of a rock mass to be estimated from the geometrical and mechanical properties of discontinuities. For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 810647. (Author/TRRL)
