Abstract
Barton, N., 1973. Review of a new shear-strength criterion for rock joints. Eng. Geol., 7: 287–332. The surface roughness of rock joints depends on their mode of origin, and on the mineralogy of the rock. Amongst the roughest joints will be those that formed in intrusive rocks in a tensile brittle manner, and amongst the smoothest the planar cleavage surface in slates. The range of friction angles exhibited by this spectrum will vary from about...
