Implement formula for shear strength along a joint surface #8

Open jimmymcnulty opened 10 years ago

jimmymcnulty commented 10 years ago

Formula is as follows:

shear strength (tau) = (normal stress angle) tan [ JRC log( JCS / effective normal stress) + basic friction angle ]

JRC = joint roughness coefficient JCS = joint wall compressive strength
