The effect of schistosity plane orientations on failure mechanism and effective shear strength
response of inherently anisotropic rocks are dealt with in this paper, with an emphasis on …

We have investigated the effects of discontinuity dip and dip direction difference on rock
mass strength, together with an assessment of how the degree of anisotropy varies with …

Roof and rib falls are still a leading cause of injuries in underground coal mines. When
numerical simulation method is adopted to study this phenomenon, the influence of regular …

The dominating parameters of a discontinuous rock mass are joint orientation, joint
frequency and joint strength. Under experimental testing conditions, these parameters can …

The research was performed of strength properties and failure mechanism of shale samples
of layered structure under shear loading with coupled compression. The effect of angles of …

Горная порода является сложноорганизованной неоднородной средой, во многих
случаях проявляющей анизотропные свойства. В связи с этим важными становятся …

ABSTRACT A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the effect of the angle of
stratification on the strength properties of samples of shale and siltstone containing …
