The following are two snapshots for this model simmulated by using Fracod2D:
A circular tunnel with four fractures in its wall in an infinite rock mass is subjected to uniaxial compressive stress of 15MPa. The inclination of the fractures is 45°. The material properties of the rock mass and fractures are the same as in Examples 1 and 3.
The fractures are found to propagate in mode I in the direction nearly parallel to far-field compressive stress.
