Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Failure Characteristics and Mechanism of Granites with Different Joint Angles

The uniaxial compression tests were conducted on granite samples with different joint dip angles to more favorably explore the influences of the nonconsecutive joint on mechanical properties and deformation characteristics of the rock mass. The stress-strain curves, deformation and strength characte...
