Excerpt

The basic friction angle plays a key role when estimating the shear strength of discontinuities for rock engineering projects, since a large body of research has shown that rock joint shear strength models that consider it are able to provide realistic results (Barton 1973; Barton and Choubey 1977; Kulatilake et al. 1995; Grasselli and Egger 2003; Xia et al. 2014; Tang and Wong 2016). …
