Influence of Stochastic Discontinuity Network Parameters on the Formation of Removable Blocks in Rock Slopes

摘要: We study the effects of discontinuity network parameters on formation removable wedges in rock slopes. Discontinuities are simulated using Poisson disk model, and identified block theory. The different sizes is assumed to follow a process. regression Monte Carlo simulation then used identify statistically relevant that variations their values have blocks. sensitivity results as function mean orientations sets forming blocks also studied by means parametric study. volumetric intensity discontinuities mass found significant impact computed estimates formation. As predicted theory, our indicate that, everything else being equal, expected rate proportional square measure. Estimates sensitive changes size, especially cases which smaller than one two times height slope. interaction between size coefficient variation be well. Finally, analysis suggest orientation significantly affects
