    Notes: Summary This paper discusses the influence of system stiffness on the dynamic instability of fault surfaces under laboratory conditions for a number of test modes. In conjunction with shear load stiffness, the normal load stiffness, often neglected, is shown to have a considerable effect on the stick-slip process —its presence or absence and its characteristics. Also appropriate stiffnesses are suggested for an earthquake sequence modeled as a growing dislocation.

    Notes: Abstract Significant changes of electrical resistivity of saturated rocks and water pressure along sliding surface occurred during stick-slips in our direct shear experiment. Two types of changes of electrical resistivity occurred. In the first, resistivity decreased with increasing shear stress, reached minimum together with a sudden release of shear stress and returned to a higher value immediately afterwards. In the second, resistivity again decreased with increasing stress but, in contrast to the first type of changes, it decreased further upon the sudden drop of shear stress. The magnitude and the direction of the changes of water pressure on the sliding surface during stick-slip were not uniform, indicating local variations of surface deformation.

    Notes: Summary Discontinuities in a rock mass can intersect an excavation surface to form discrete blocks (keyblocks) which can be unstable. Once a potentially unstable block is identified, initial normal and shear stresses on each block face are calculated using elastic theory, and are then modified by discontinuity deformations as the keyblock displaces. The modified stresses are summed into resultant forces to evaluate block stability. Since the resultant forces change with displacement, successive increments of block movement are examined to see whether the block ultimately becomes stable or fails. Calculated keyblock stability increases with larger in situ stress magnitudes, larger lateral stress ratios, and larger shear strengths. Discontinuity stiffness controls block displacement more strongly than it does stability itself. Large keyblocks are less stable than small ones, and stability increases as blocks become more slender.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Numerische Analyse von Verformungsversuchen in geklüfteten Fels — Lösungen mittels „Kluft-Perturbation“ und „No Tension Analysis“ auf Grund der Methode der Finiten Elemente Der Entwurf von Bauwerken in oder auf Fels erfordert eine genaue Kenntnis des Formänderungsverhaltens der Felsmasse. Im allgemeinen basiert die Interpretation der Ergebnisse von Feldversuchen auf den Lösungen des zugehörigen Randwertproblems der linearen Elastostatik mittels klassischer analytischer Methoden oder der Methode der Finiten Elemente. Wenn die Versuche aber in geklüftetem Fels durchgeführt werden, müssen die theoretischen Methoden modifiziert werden, da das Medium keine Zugspannungen aufnehmen kann. Zwei Fälle können unterschieden werden. Erstens: die Kluftflächen der Felsmasse können geometrisch erfaßt und ihre Oberflächeneigenschaften können bestimmt werden; in diesem Falle kann die Finite-Elemente-Lösung eine „Kluft-Perturbations“-Methode verwenden, in welcher spezielle „Kluft“-Elemente verschiedener Steifigkeiten normal und tangential zu den Kluftflächen die Bewegungen entlang derselben bestimmen. Zweitens: die Diskontinuitäten der Felsmasse können nicht hinreichend beschrieben werden; für diesen Fall ist vorgekehrt durch die Finite-Element-Analyse vom Typ der „Spannungsumlagerung“ unter Ausschaltung der Zugspannungen („No Tension Analysis“), um das globale Verhalten der geklüfteten Felsmasse zu erfassen. Die Lösungen dieser beiden Methoden wurden für den Fall der Bohrloch-Verformungs-Tests verglichen; der Vergleich zeigt ausgezeichnete Übereinstimmung, im Gegensatz zu den Lösungen als lineares Elastizitätsproblem.
    Abstract: Résumé La méthode des Eléments Finis appliquée aux résultats d'essais de vérins cylindriques dans les roches fissurées — solutions dites “Joint Pertubé” et “Sans Traction” La construction de structures sur ou dans des roches nécessite une connaissance approfendie de la déformabilité du massif rocheux. L'analyse des résultats d'essais en place se fait généralement à l'aide de solutions analytiques ou par Eléments Finis, qui supposent une élasticité linéaire du milieu. De fait, dans les roches fissurées, ces solutions sont inadéquates puisque le milieu ne peut résister aux sollicitations de traction. Il s'agit donc d'utiliser d'autres méthodes d'analyse. Lors qu'il est possible de déterminer la géométrie et les propriétés de toutes les discontinuités, l'on pourra utiliser une solution par Eléments Finis, dite “Joint Perturbé” dans laquelle la rigidité de surface du joint (ou fissure) peut varier lorsque des movements prennent place au niveau du joint. Si cela est impossible, il faudra utiliser une approche globale dite “Sans Traction” qui redistribue les contraintes de traction et les dissipe. On compare ces deux types de solutions dans le cas des essais de vérins cylindriques unidirectionnels. Leurs résultats sont identiques et ont nettement différents de ceux obtenus avec une solution élastique linéaire.
    Notes: Summary Numerical Analyses of Deformability Tests in Jointed Rock — “Joint Perturbation” and “No Tension” Finite Element Solutions Sound design of structures in or upon rock requires a thorough knowledge of the rock mass deformability. Field test data interpretation has generally relied upon analytical or Finite Element linear elastic solutions. However, when testing in jointed rock, these can no longer be readily used since the medium cannot resist the tension induced upon loading. Accordingly, other solutions are required. If the discontinuities of the rock mass can all be mapped and their surface properties determined, the Finite Element model will use a “Joint Perturbation” solution where the “joint” elements have variable stiffnesses to account for movements along the fractures. If the discontinuities cannot be satisfactorily mapped, a global approach is provided by a “No Tension” analysis of the “stress transfer” type. The two techniques are compared in the case of bore hole jack deformability tests and found to agree remarkably well, indicating an appreciable difference from results of linear elasticity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Scherversuche an klüftigen Gesteinen ohne Dränung Wasserdruck in Klüften muß sich verändern, wenn ohne perfekte Dränage Scherkraft ausgeübt wird. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein neuer, direkt wirkender Scherapparat beschrieben, in welchem ummantelte Prüfkörper mit gerichteten Klüften unter Konsolidationsbedingungen ohne Dränage untersucht werden können, wobei der Porendruck gemessen wird. Es wird außerdem die Technik von Triaxialversuchen beschrieben und typische Ergebnisse mit ungestörtem und geklüftetem Sandstein werden mit Ergebnissen aus direkten Scherversuchen verglichen. Während ungestörte Proben steigenden Porendruck, gefolgt von Dilatanz, aufweisen und der Porendruck vor der Höchstbelastung nachläßt, nimmt derselbe in geklüfteten Proben bis zur Höchstbelastung ständig zu.
    Abstract: Résumé Essais de cisaillement non drainé sur des échantillons de roche contenant une discontinuité Les pressions interstitielles à l'intérieur des discontinuités doivent changer lorsqu'elles sont soumises au cisaillement et que le drainage n'est pas parfait. Cet article décrit une nouvelle machine pour essais de cisaillement direct permettant de tester, dans des conditions de consolidation non drainée, des échantillons de roche gainés comportant une discontinuité d'orientation déterminée. La machine permet la mesure de la pression interstitielle. L'article décrit également les techniques de compression triaxiale correspondantes et des résultats typiques obtenus sur des échantillons de grès intact ou traversé par un joint sont comparés à ceux provenant des essais de cisaillement direct. Alors que les échantillons de roche intacte montrent un accroissement de la pression interstitielle suivi de dilatance et d'une réduction de pression avant que la contrainte de cisaillement maximum ne soit atteinte, la pression interstitielle dans les échantillons contenant une discontinuité croît jusqu'au droit de la contrainte de cisaillement maximum.
    Notes: Summary Undrained Shear Testing of Jointed Rock Water pressures must change inside joints undergoing shear without perfect drainage. This paper describes a new direct shear machine in which jacketed samples with oriented joints can be tested under consolidated undrained conditions with pore pressure measurement. Triaxial compression techniques for such tests are also described and typical results with intact and jointed sandstone samples are compared with results from the direct shear tests. Whereas intact specimens displayed increasing pore pressure followed by dilatancy and pore pressure decline before peak loading, the pore pressure in jointed specimens continued increasing right up to the peak load.

    Notes: This paper explains a novel ‘back-analysis’ shceme to determine rock mass behaviour modes from an array of deformational measurements. The input will be the locations of data points and the set of measured displacements, as well as description of the locations and orientations of planes of discontinuity, and the blocks they determine. The output, drawn by the computer, will be the set of block displacements, rotations, and strains that determine the behavioural mode of the mass.

    Notes: This paper presents a general method of key block analysis for cylindrical surfaces with numerous real or statistically produced joint traces. General tunnel curves, analytically represented, are unrolled to yield a ‘developed view’ on which the joint traces are continuous curves. Then, using extended block theory, the maximum key block regions are delimited from the curved polygons of the unrolled joint trace map. The methods discussed here apply to a cylindrical tunnel of any shape in section and in any orientation, including inclined tunnels and shafts. The trace maps for which the method applies can be generated statistically, as described herein, or surveyed from real traces on exposed tunnel walls. A brief introduction to the basic theory about tunnel key blocks is provided here so that this paper can be understood without reference to other papers on block theory.

    Notes: This paper provides the theoretical basis for a forward numerical model of rock block systems. This method was developed to compute stress, strain, sliding and opening of rock blocks; rigid body movement and deformation occur simultaneously. Input data consist of block geometry, loading forces, the deformability constants E and v, and the restraint or boundary conditions of the block system. Output data give the movements, deformations, stresses and strains of each block, and the sliding and detachment or rejoining of blocks.The forces acting on each block, from external loading or contact with other blocks, satisfy the equilibrium equations. Equilibrium is also achieved between external forces and the block stresses. Furthermore, this analysis fulfills constraints of no tension between blocks and no penetration of one block into another. To acheive equilibrium and satisfy these constraints, simultaneous equations are solved repeatdly with partial changes of the coefficients each time the contact constraints are chosen.
