A damage constitutive model for rock mass with persistent joints considering joint shear strength
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Microcracks and joints, two types of flaws that appear in a rock mass, affect both the rock mass strength and deformability. A model that can simultaneously reflect the effect of these two types of flaws on the mechanical behavior of a rock mass with persistent joints is not yet available. This study focusses on a microcracked rock mass with persistent joints and establishes a mechanical model, accounting for the anisotropy in the rock mass strength and deformability induced by the existence of the joints. Firstly, the compound damage variable from the coupling macroscopic and mesoscopic flaws is deduced based on the Lemaitre strain equivalence hypothesis. Secondly, the corresponding damage constitutive model for a jointed rock mass is set up. Thirdly, the joint shear failure criterion is incorporated into the constitutive model to extend the model. Finally, the results of the calculation examples show that the existence of the joint will reduce the strength, enlarge the deformability, and lead to anisotropy of the rock mass. A series of calculation examples and comparisons validate that the proposed model is capable of presenting the joint-induced anisotropy in rock mass strength and deformability, determining its possible failure modes, and reasonably simulating its complete stress–strain relationship.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
