Harmonising Rock Engineering and the Environment – Qian Zhou (eds) © 2012 Taylor Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-80444-8 Multiple scale numerical modeling of growth process of multiple-cracks in rock mass X.P. Zhou, H.Q. Yang Y.X. Zhang School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China ABSTRACT: It is well known that there are many joints, cracks and faults in rock mass. The dimensions of these discontinuous vary from meters to millimeters. In the engineering practices, the failure of surrounding rock mass mostly related to the interaction of discontinuous interface with varied dimensions. However, it is lack of effective numerical simulation method for crack-weakened rock mass which can take the multiple scale mechanical behavior of rock mass into account. In order to solve this problem, some breakthroughs should be made in the fundamental theory of numerical simulating method for crack-weakened rock mass. On the basis of extended finite element method, a multiple scale model for simulating the damage evolution in crack-weakened rock mass is proposed. The coordination between the internal boundary (such as cracks and holes) and mesh is not needed in this new model. By combining the displacement projecting method and displacement loading method, the connection between different sizes of mesh behaves smoothly. This multiple scale model, which saves the storage space, indeed overcomes difficulties in mesh. The contact constraint on crack surface is embedded within the total stiffness matrix by adopting the penalty method. In addition, the path of crack growth and stress field are determined through iterative computations. Because additional discontinuous functions and enriched tip elemen
