Figure 3.15
Stress distribution along a rock bridge of a non-persisting discontinuity
If the open discontinuity sections in the model represented in Fig. 3.15 are modeled
as Griffi th cracks, the stress distributions due to and in the area of the rock
bridges along the discontinuity's plane are obtained by the superposition of the stress
distributions of two adjacent Griffi th cracks with interspace ℓ:
