The meshless methods are particularly suitable for modeling problems with discontinuities
such as joints in rock mass. The meshless Shepard and least squares (MSLS) method is a …

A new nonlinear thermo-mechanical model for heavily jointed rock masses is presented.
The model describes poroelasticity, shear-enhanced compaction and brittle–ductile …

In recent decades numerical models have been developed and extensively used for
landslide hazard and risk assessment. The reliability of the outcomes of these numerical …

This paper proposes a new approach called Density–Volume (D–V) fractal model to
delineate rock characterisation in terms of density and RQD within the Kahang Cu–Mo …
