New Peak Shear Strength Criterion of Rock Joints Based on Quantified Surface Description (2014, background): “Some three-dimensional roughness parameters have been developed to characterize joint surfaces to overcome the drawbacks of two-dimensional profiles (Belem et al. 2000; Fardin et al. 2001; Lanaro 2000, 2001).”
A new method estimating the 2D Joint Roughness Coefficient for discontinuity surfaces in rock masses (2014, background): “The angularity parameters representing the geometry of surfaces are reported to be more suitable for the analysis of the anisotropic surfaces [18].”
Manuel Rocha Medal Recipient Shear Strength of Rock Joints Based on Quantified Surface Description (2006, background): “Only recently have researchers focused their attention on identifying three-dimensional parameters to quantify the relationship between the surface roughness and shear strength [24-27].”
A Bonded Particle Model Simulation of Shear Strength and Asperity Degradation for Rough Rock Fractures (2012, methodology): “…and several others and the post-peak response and asperity degradation have been modelled using several experimental, empirical, and theoretical approaches (Asadollahi and Tonon 2010; Bandis et al. 1983; Belem et al. 2000, 2007; Ferrero et al. 2010; Lee et al. 2001; Plesha 1987; Saito et al. 2007).”
