3-D Equivalent Model of Jointed Rock Masses Considering the Effects of Joint Face Dilatancy Yan Shilin Wu Daihua Huang Yuying ( Dept. of Engineering Struc. & Mech.,WUT,Wuhan 430070,China.)The 3-D equivalent elastic model of jointed rock mass was established considering the joint face dilatancy. The effects of dilatancy coefficient and orientation angle of joint faces on the equivalent elastic moduli of anisotropic rock masses were analyzed. The computer program was written and can conveniently be used to predicate the equivalent mechanical properties of jointed rock masses.jointed rock masses; equivalent model; dilatancy
