Abstract
The excavation engineering in jointed rock masses, due to the changes in its original stress state, the preexisting fissures will expand and new fissures may emerge, which will degrade its mechanical and strength properties. This paper uses the DDARF method to preinstall fissures of different numbers and spacing in the rock block, then studies the crack initiation, expansion, transfixion and the destruction process by numerical modeling experiment, and finds the relevant stress strain curve. It also studies the influence of the numbers of fissures and different spacing and the influence of lateral compression on the test specimen to find the strength envelope of the test specimen. The parameters are applied in a case study. The differences in the failure behaviors of the intact and jointed rock masses after cavern excavation are analyzed and compared.
