Abstract
Accurate assessment of jointed rock mass hydro-mechanical (HM) behavior prevents engineering geohazards caused by water pressure. This study conducts triaxial compression tests on jointed rock samples under varying water pressures using the discrete element method. A full-coupled HM model links mechanical and hydraulic fields, with joint fluid flow following the cubic law. On the basis of material parameter calibration against laboratory test data, the study explores the HM coupling behavior of blocky and stochastically jointed rock. An innovative approach integrates ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) testing with triaxial compression tests to create stochastically jointed rock models aligned with the Geological Strength Index (GSI) chart. This UPV-based calibration method enables representation of stochastically jointed rock models as blocky/disturbed rock masses within the GSI chart. Simulations identify rotation and detachment failure modes in rock blocks under high water pressure and low confining pressure. Results show that the generalized Hoek–Brown criterion, expressed in terms of effective stress, is unsuitable for rock masses with few joints, particularly under high water pressure. The effective stress principle applies only to highly blocky or less interlocked rock mass structures in the GSI chart. The study highlights joint connectivity's significant influence on the effective stress coefficient.

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 it
