Abstract
Veined rock masses can be found in porphyry copper deposits like at the El Teniente mine in Chile. Rock masses with cemented joints or veins cannot be accurately represented using the methods commonly applied to predict the deformability and strength of jointed rock masses. Laboratory tests on veined rock andesite from the El Teniente mine have shown that the veins control the fracturing process and strength. In this work, the behavior of veined...
