Ultimate bearing capacity of an anisotropic discontinuous rock mass. Part I: Basic modes of failure

Publicated to:International Journal Of Rock Mechanics And Mining Sciences. 35 (3): 301-324 - 1998-01-01 35(3), DOI: 10.1016/S0148-9062(97)00337-9

Abstract

The existence of a transverse strength isotropy concerning the strength in rock media due to the presence of a family of planes of weakness superimposed within an isotropic sock mass is considered. Six different mechanisms of failure ave possible tinder a foundation depending on the boundary conditions and the orientation of the transverse isotropy. The theoretical bases for the determination of the ultimate load of a strip foundation on a rock mass ale obtained, respectively, for the six different mechanisms. The following assumptions are adopted: (a) a non-linear behaviour through the rock mass, defined by the Hoek and Brown model (parameters m, s and the unconfined compressive strength, respectively) and (b) a linear strength behaviour along the planes of weakness, defined by their cohesion and angle of internal friction.
