... joint systems, while for complicated discrete fracture networks, numerical methods are more suitable. However, such numerical simulations demand considerable computation resources and are time-consuming for large-scale models. An attractive approach is to perform a rough mapping of the fractures...

... with current interpretation techniques. Analysis is complicated by the cohesive and frictional properties of these materials, their brittle behaviour and the existence of joints and bedding planes. This paper brie¯y reviews the in¯uence of each of these factors and discusses whether drained or undrained...
