Since the latter have much poorer mechanical characteristics than the rock material, they play a decisive role in the overall behavior of rock structures,whose deformation as well as failure pa

3、tterns are mainly governed by those of the joints. It follows that, from a geomechanical engineering standpoint, design methods of structures involving jointed rock masses, must absolutely account for such weakness surfaces in their analysis.The most straightforward way of dealing with this situatio

4、n is to treat the jointed rock mass as an assemblage of pieces of intact rock material in mutual interaction through the separating joint interfaces. Many design-oriented methods relating to this kind of approach have been developed in the past decades, among them,the well-known block theory, which

5、attempts to identify poten-tially unstable lumps of rock from geometrical and kinematical considerations (Goodman and Shi 1985; Warburton 1987; Goodman 1995). One should also quote the widely used distinct element method, originating from the works of Cundall and coauthors (Cundall and Strack 1979;

6、Cundall 1988), which makes use of an explicit nite-difference numerical scheme for computing the displacements of the blocks considered as rigid or deformable bodies. In this context, attention is primarily focused on the formulation of realistic models for describing the joint behavior.Since the pr

7、eviously mentioned direct approach is becoming highly complex, and then numerically untractable, as soon as a very large number of blocks is involved, it seems advisable to look for alternative methods such as those derived from the concept of homogenization. Actually, such a concept is already part

8、ially conveyed in an empirical fashion by the famous Hoek and Browns criterion (Hoek and Brown 1980; Hoek 1983). It stems from the intuitive idea that from a macroscopic point of view, a rock mass intersected by a regular network of joint surfaces, may be perceived as a homogeneous continuum. Furthe

9、rmore, owing to the existence of joint preferential orientations, one should expect such a homogenized material to exhibit anisotropic properties.The objective of the present paper is to derive a rigorous formulation for the failure criterion of a jointed rock mass as a homogenized medium, from the

10、knowledge of the joints and rock material respective criteria. In the particular situation where twomutually orthogonal joint sets are considered, a closed-form expression is obtained, giving clear evidence of the related strength anisotropy. A comparison is performed on an illustrative example betw

11、een the results produced by the homogenization method,making use of the previously determined criterion, and those obtained by means of a computer code based on the distinct element method. It is shown that, while both methods lead to almost identical results for a densely fractured rock mass, a siz

12、e or scale effect is observed in the case of a limited number of joints. The second part of the paper is then devoted to proposing a method which attempts to capture such a scale effect, while still taking advantage of a homogenization technique. This is achieved by resorting to a micropolar or Coss

The implementation of this model is nally illustrated on a simple example, showing how it may actually account for such a s

14、cale effect.Problem Statement and Principle of Homogenization ApproachThe problem under consideration is that of a foundation (bridge pier or abutment) resting upon a fractured bedrock (Fig. 1), whose bearing capacity needs to be evaluated from the knowledge of the strength capacities of the rock ma

15、trix and the joint interfaces. The failure condition of the former will be expressed through the classical Mohr-Coulomb condition expressed by means of the cohesion and the friction angle . Note that tensile stresses will be counted positive throughout the paper.Likewise, the joints will be modeled

16、as plane interfaces (represented by lines in the gures plane). Their strength properties are described by means of a condition involving the stress vector of components (, ) acting at any point of those interfacesAccording to the yield design (or limit analysis) reasoning, the above structure will r

18、of the structure.This problem amounts to evaluating the ultimate load Q beyond which failure will occur, or equivalently within which its stability is ensured. Due to the strong heterogeneity of the jointed rock mass, insurmountable difculties are likely to arise when trying to implement the above r

19、easoning directly. As regards, for instance, the case where the strength properties of the joints are considerably lower than those of the rock matrix, the implementation of a kinematic approach would require the use of failure mechanisms involving velocity jumps across the joints, since the latter

20、would constitute preferential zones for the occurrence offailure. Indeed, such a direct approach which is applied in most classical design methods, is becoming rapidly complex as the density of joints increases, that is as the typical joint spacing l is becoming small in comparison with a characteri

21、stic length of the structure such as the foundation width B.In such a situation, the use of an alternative approach based on the idea of homogenization and related concept of macroscopic equivalent continuum for the jointed rock mass, may be appropriate for dealing with such a problem. More details

22、about this theory, applied in the context of reinforced soil and rock mechanics, will be found in (de Buhan et al. 1989; de Buhan and Salenc ,on 1990; Bernaud et al. 1995).Macroscopic Failure Condition for Jointed Rock MassThe formulation of the macroscopic failure condition of a jointed rock mass m

It will now be explicitly formulated in the particular situation of two mutually orthogonal sets of joints under

Referring to an orthonormal frame Owhose axes are placed along the joints directions, and introducing the following change of stress variables:such a macroscopic failure condition simply becomeswhere it will be assumed that A convenient representation of the macroscopic cri

Denoting by and the normal and shear components of the stress vector acting upon such a facet, it is possible to det

The corresponding domain has been drawn in Fig. 2 in the particular case where .Two comments are worth being made:1. The decrease in strength of a rock material due to the presenc

The usual strength envelope corresponding to the rock matrix failure condition is truncated by two orthogonal semilines as soon as condition is fullled.2. The macroscopic anisotropy is also quite apparent, since for instance the strength envelope drawn i

The usual notion of intrinsic curve should therefore be discarded, but also the concepts of anisotropic cohesion and friction angle as tentatively introduced by Jaeger (1960), or Mc Lamore and Gray (1967).Nor can such an anisotropy be properly descri

Since no surcharge is applied to the structure, the specic weight of t

A standard dimensional analysis of this problem shows that this critical heig

Upper-bound estimates of this factor will now be determined by means of the yield design kinematic approach, using two kinds of failure mechanisms shown in Fig. 4.Rotational Fail

40、 homogenization approach can then be compared with that derived from a direct calculation, using the UDEC computer software (Hart et al. 1988). Since the latter can handle situations where the position of each individual joint is specied, a series of calculations has been performed varying the numbe

The observed discrepancy between homogenization and direct approaches, could be regarded as a size or scale effect which is not included in the classicalhomogenization model. A possible way

45、隙或节理表现出的力学性质要远远低于岩体本身，但是它们在岩体结构性质方面起着重要的作用，岩体本身的变形和破坏模式也主要是由这些节理所决定的。从地质力学工程角度而言，在涉及到节理岩体结构的设计方法中，软弱表面是一个很重要的考虑因素。 解决这种问题最简单的方法就是把岩体看作是许多完整岩块的集合，这些岩块之间有很多相交的节理面。这种方法在过去的几十年中被设计者们广泛采用，其中比较著名的是“块体理论”，该理论试图从几何学和运动学的角度用来判别潜在的不稳定岩块（Goodman & 石根华 1985；Warburton 1987；Goodman 1995）；另外一种广泛使用的方法是特殊单元法，它是由Cund

46、all及其合作者（Cundall & Strack 1979； Cundall 1988）提出来的，其目的是用来求解显式有限差分数值问题，计算刚性块体或柔性块体的位移。本文的重点是阐述如何利用公式来描述实际的节理模型。既然直接求解的方法很复杂，数值分析方法也很难驾驭，同时由于涉及到了数目如此之多的块体，所以寻求利用均质化的方法是一个明智的选择。事实上，这个概念早在Hoek-Brown准则（Hoek & Brown 1980；Hoek 1983）得出的一个经验公式中就有所涉及，它来自于宏观上的一个直觉，被一个规则的表面节理网络所分割的岩体，可以看做是一个均质的连续体，由于节理倾向的不同，这样的一

47、个均质材料显示出了各向异性的性质。本文的目的就是：从节理和岩体各自准则出发，推求出一个严格准确的公式，来描述作为均匀介质的节理岩体的破坏准则。先考查特殊情况，从两组相互正交的节理着手，得到一个封闭的表达式，清楚的证明了强度的各向异性。我们进行了一项试验：把利用均质化方法得到的结果和以前普遍使用的准则得到的结果以及基于计算机编程的特殊单元法（DEM）得到的结果进行了对比，结果表明：对于密集裂隙的岩体，结果基本一致；对于节理数目较少的岩体，存在一个尺寸效应（或者称为比例效应）。本文的第二部分就是在保证均质化方法优点的前提下，致力于提出一个新的方法来解决这种尺寸效应，基于应力和应力耦合的宏观破坏条件

48、，提出利用微极模型或者Cosserat连续模型来描述节理岩体；最后将会用一个简单的例子来演示如何应用这个模型来解决比例效应的问题。问题的陈述和均质化方法的原理 考虑这样一个问题：一个基础（桥墩或者其邻接处）建立在一个有裂隙的岩床上（Fig.1），岩床的承载能力通过岩基和节理交界面的强度 估算出来。岩基的破坏条件使用传统的莫尔-库伦条件，可以用粘聚力C 1和内摩擦角 m 来表示（本文中张应力采用正值计算）。同样，用接触平面代替节理（图示平面中用直线表示）。强度特性采用接触面上任意点的应力向量 (,)表示： 根据屈服设计（或极限分析）推断，如果沿着应力边界条件，岩体应力分布满足平衡方程和结构任意点

49、的强度要求，那么在一个给定的竖向荷载Q（沿着OZ 轴方向）作用下，上部结构仍然安全。 这个问题可以归结为求解破坏发生处的极限承载力Q+ ，或者是多大外力作用下结构能确保稳定。由于节理岩体强度的各向异性，若试图使用上述直接推求的方法，难度就会增大很多。比如，由于节理强度特性远远低于岩基，从运动学角度出发的方法要求考虑到破坏机理，这就牵涉到了节理上的速度突跃，而节理处将会是首先发生破坏的区域。 这种应用在大多数传统设计中的直接方法，随着节理密度的增加越来越复杂。确切地说，这是因为相比较结构的长度（如基础宽B）而言，典型节理间距L变得更小，加大了问题的难度。在这种情况下，对节理岩体使用均质化方法和宏观等效连续的
