Abstract
This paper presents the direct shear test to investigate the effect of the joint roughness and pore pressure on the shear behavior of rock joints. Recently, we have developed an experimental method for the direct shear test using true triaxial apparatus that can control three mutually perpendicular loads and pore pressure independently. The morphological properties of the joints were quantified using a non-contact 3D laser scanner to investigate the change in surface roughness due to shear and the effect of pore pressure. In addition, the time variation of shear load, normal displacement, and flow rate on the joint during shear sliding were measured, and the relationship with the change of the discontinuous surface after the experiment was discussed.
