This work is focused on the modeling efficiency of the discrete element methods to represent the behaviour of mine dump masses with the specified joint plane for the limit equilibrium method.

This paper describes an experimental study on the structural behavior of the joint plane between a RC (reinforced concrete) wall and a SC (steel plate concrete) wall under out-of-plane flexural loads and in-plane shear loads.

Failure occurred along a major joint plane paralleling the slope with a dip of 44°, when a major base level lowering event in the Salt River system would have undermined the base of the failed slope, and probably during a period of more moisture than normally available in the present-day arid climate.

In Afghanistan, the Pentagon has used multiple sources of intelligence, including local Afghans, U-2 spy planes, reconnaissance satellites, unpiloted Predator drones and RC-135 Rivet Joint planes that collect electronic transmissions.

Influences of the key parameters in smooth blasting, viz., loading rate, distance from a free face, earth stress, and pre-existing joint planes, etc., on fracture patterns are explored.

At depths greater than 20 cm below the natural ground surface, granular disintegration and corestone weathering are not evident, and dissolution and precipitation of secondary calcite is only observed within a few centimeters of joint planes.

Stresses have an influence on rock anisotropy, when the anisotropy is induced by joints; the degree of anisotropy can be much higher and is influenced by the stresses acting across the joint planes.
