Geological materials are inherently discontinuous because of
joints, faults, shears, bedding, and foliation planes which
typically transect the rock mass. Over the past two decades
enormous effort has been made by the rock mechanics community to
quantify the characterization of rock structure by developing
better geo-statistical tools and by developing more general
constitutive laws for the mechanical strength of discontinuities.
Along with these developments a substantial effort has been made to
develop better and more suitable numerical methods, which allow
realistic modelling of discontinuous deformation in geological
materials. In particular, the discrete element method (DEM), the
combined discrete-finite element methods (FEM/DEM), and
discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) have reached a mature
development stage. In this book 24 high quality, peer-reviewed
papers on discontinuous analysis in geological materials, written
by leading experts from 17 countries, are presented in six
chapters: 1) Key note lecture, 2) Plenary lectures, 3) Case studies
in rock slope and underground openings in discontinuous rock, 4)
Analysis, response, prediction, and monitoring of existing rock and
stone monuments, 5) Validation of theoretical models, 6)
Theoretical developments in modelling discontinuous deformation. It
is believed that the collection of papers in this volume
demonstrates the directions in which theoretical developments in
analysis of discontinuous deformation should proceed, the validity
and limitations of existing codes, and the range of engineering
problems to which discontinuous analysis can be applied.
