“…When the rock is studied as a kind of mechanical materials, the mechanical property and permeability characteristic are mainly controlled by the discontinuity surface network [1]. In different fields, many researchers obtained a series of fruitful results on network simulation of discontinuities [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. However, the evaluation of rock slope stability can not well take the effect of discontinuities into account and can not truly reflect the deformation and failure characteristics of rock mass structure with discontinuities delivery in the joint and fissure.…”

Discontinuities influenced the stability of jointed rock slopes are taken as the main subject of investigation, network simulation of discontinuities in the rock mass was produced by using Monte-Carlo method. The establishment of jointed element model to carry out that the network model of discontinuities was applied to the numerical one, which made it feasible to consider the influence of discontinuities in course of analyses of the finite element method when evaluating the stability of jointed rock slopes. Finally, the method was preliminarily applied with real project of artificial slope for BaiLong nuclear power plant, it is proved that it is feasible to expand for engineering applications.

Discontinuities have an important influence on deformation and failure of rock mass in practical engineering. It is one of the key issues in modern rock mechanics to investigate geometric characteristics of joints and fractures inside the rock mass such as shape, size, location and direction etc. Based on the deep analysis of the above geometric properties, it is proposed that the stochastic fractures in the rock mass can be simulated with the random numbers generated by the Monte Carlo method. The related algorithm is designed and implemented. The correctness and effectiveness of the algorithm is verified with an example of a project. This will lay a solid foundation to further study the cutting problems of discontinuous rock block systems.
