Excerpt

Discontinuities in rock masses greatly influence stress wave transmission. Theoretical and experimental studies on wave propagation across joints have been extensively studied (e.g., Kendall and Tabor 1971; Schoenberg 1980; Pyrak-Nolte et al. 1990; Zhao and Cai 2001; Zhao et al. 2006a, b; Perino et al. 2010; Li and Ma 2010; Li et al. 2010), focusing on the effects of joint stiffness, incident angles, number of joints, and joint spacing on wave propagation. …
