Failure Mechanical Characteristics of Rock with Different Hole Shapes

Due to the role of geological structure, the underground rock contains a large number of holes. In order to study the influence of the hole on the mechanical characteristics of the rock failure, the numerical simulation analysis of the intact rock and the rock with three shapes holes(circle, square, triangle) are carried out by using PFC2D. The results show that the rock strength varies with the shape of the hole. Circular holes have the least...
