Abstract:It is well-established that pore pressure built up in discontinuities has a profound effect on the mechanical behaviors of the jointed rock masses. The discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) is a discontinuum theory which can account for the interactions between pore pressure and rock mechanics. It is also a numerical method or computer program commonly applied to hydro-geomechanical modeling.Research and development of DDA hydro-mechanical model has been thriving over the last two decades. The main objectiv… Show more
