Theoretical validation on general block method

General block method is a numerical procedure for the identification and stability assessment of rock blocks formed by finite-sized fractures and arbitrary-shaped rock mass.The rock mass of study region may be partitioned into a finite number of sub-regions,and each sub-region is,or can be approximated with,a convex poledron.Detail theoretical validation is carried out in this paper.This is realized through solving the same problems with general block method and theoretical method,and comparing ...
