Numerical Analysis Method of Shear Properties of Infilled Joints under Constant Normal Stiffness Condition

Figure 5

Shear modes of infilled joints. (a) Failure of the interface between rock and fillings, (b) sliding along the interface, and (c) the cutoff failure of the sawtooth. Red points: tensile crack and blue points: shear crack (adopted from Bahaaddini et al., [25]).
