2、e latter have much poorer mechanical characteristics than the rock material, they play a decisive role in the overall behavior of rock structures,whose deformation as well as failure patterns are mainly governed by those of the joints. It follows that, from a geomechanical engineering standpoint, de

3、sign methods of structures involving jointed rock masses, must absolutely account for such weakness surfaces in their analysis. The most straightforward way of dealing with this situation is to treat the jointed rock mass as an assemblage of pieces of intact rock material in mutual interaction throu

4、gh the separating joint interfaces. Many design-oriented methods relating to this kind of approach have been developed in the past decades, among them,the well-known block theory, which attempts to identify poten- tially unstable lumps of rock from geometrical and kinematical considerations (Goodman

5、 and Shi 1985； Warburton 1987； Goodman 1995). One should also quote the widely used distinct element method, originating from the works of Cundall and coauthors (Cundall and Strack 1979； Cundall 1988), which makes use of an explicit nite-difference numerical scheme for computing the displacements of

6、 the blocks considered as rigid or deformable bodies. In this context, attention is primarily focused on the formulation of realistic models for describing the joint behavior. Since the previously mentioned direct approach is becoming highly complex, and then numerically untractable, as soon as a ve

7、ry large number of blocks is involved, it seems advisable to look for alternative methods such as those derived from the concept of homogenization. Actually, such a concept is already partially conveyed in an empirical fashion by the famous Hoek and Browns criterion (Hoek and Brown 1980； Hoek 1983).

8、 It stems from the intuitive idea that from a macroscopic point of view, a rock mass intersected by a regular network of joint surfaces, may be perceived as a homogeneous continuum. Furthermore, owing to the existence of joint preferential orientations, one should expect such a homogenized material

9、to exhibit anisotropic properties. The objective of the present paper is to derive a rigorous formulation for the failure criterion of a jointed rock mass as a homogenized medium, from the knowledge of the joints and rock material respective criteria. In the particular situation where twomutually or

10、thogonal joint sets are considered, a closed-form expression is obtained, giving clear evidence of the related strength anisotropy. A comparison is performed on an illustrative example between the results produced by the homogenization method,making use of the previously determined criterion, and th

11、ose obtained by means of a computer code based on the distinct element method. It is shown that, while both methods lead to almost identical results for a densely  安徽理工大学毕业论文  2 fractured rock mass, a size or scale effect is observed in the case of a limited number of joints. The second pa

12、rt of the paper is then devoted to proposing a method which attempts to capture such a scale effect, while still taking advantage of a homogenization technique. This is achieved by resorting to a micropolar or Cosserat continuum description of the fractured rock mass, through the derivation of a gen

13、eralized macroscopic failure condition expressed in terms of stresses and couple stresses. The implementation of this model is nally illustrated on a simple example, showing how it may actually account for such a scale effect. Problem Statement and Principle of Homogenization Approach The problem un

15、pressed through the classical Mohr-Coulomb condition expressed by means of the cohesion mC  and the friction angle m  . Note that tensile stresses will be counted positive throughout the paper. Likewise, the joints will be modeled as plane interfaces (represented by lines in the gures plan

16、e). Their strength properties are described by means of a condition involving the stress vector of components (, ) acting at any point of those interfaces  According to the yield design (or limit analysis) reasoning, the above structure will remain safe under a given vertical load Q(force per u

17、nit length along the Oz axis), if one can exhibit throughout the rock mass a stress distribution which satises the equilibrium equations along with the stress boundary conditions,while complying with the strength requirement expressed at any point of the structure. This problem amounts to evaluating

18、 the ultimate load Q  beyond which failure will occur, or equivalently within which its stability is ensured. Due to the strong heterogeneity of  安徽理工大学毕业论文  3 the jointed rock mass, insurmountable difculties are likely to arise when trying to implement the above reasoning directly. A

19、s regards, for instance, the case where the strength properties of the joints are considerably lower than those of the rock matrix, the implementation of a kinematic approach would require the use of failure mechanisms involving velocity jumps across the joints, since the latter would constitute pre

20、ferential zones for the occurrence of failure. Indeed, such a direct approach which is applied in most classical design methods, is becoming rapidly complex as the density of joints increases, that is as the typical joint spacing l is becoming small in comparison with a characteristic length of the

21、structure such as the foundation width B. In such a situation, the use of an alternative approach based on the idea of homogenization and related concept of macroscopic equivalent continuum for the jointed rock mass, may be appropriate for dealing with such a problem. More details about this theory,

22、 applied in the context of reinforced soil and rock mechanics, will be found in (de Buhan et al. 1989； de Buhan and Salenc ,on 1990； Bernaud et al. 1995).

Denoting by n  and n the normal and shear components of the stress vector acting upon such a facet, it is possible to determine for any value of a the set of admissible stresses ( n  , n ) deduced from conditions (3) expressed in terms of ( 11 , 22  , 12 ).
